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.
