Description

This One-Pot Creamy Chicken & Potato Stew is packed with tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and rich flavors, making it a delightful and simple meal for any occasion. Perfect for quick dinners or comforting family gatherings!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pound red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. In batches, add the chicken and cook until evenly browned, about 6-8 minutes; set aside.
  • Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the flour and tomato paste until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the chicken stock, thyme, bay leaves, and the reserved chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the potatoes and simmer until just tender and the stew has thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
  • Stir in the parsley and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock if available.
This stew can be made in a slow cooker by following the same steps and cooking on low for 6-8 hours.
