Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n

Nothing crazy here.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n

Base and Aromatics<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Olive oil<\/strong>: Used for browning the chicken, it enhances flavor and adds richness.<\/p>\n

Onion, Celery, Carrot, Garlic<\/strong>: These vegetables form the aromatic base, adding depth, sweetness, and complexity to the stew.<\/p>\n

Main Ingredients and Seasonings<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Chicken thighs<\/strong> (cut in 1-inch pieces): The main protein, providing a rich and hearty element. Chicken thighs remain tender and flavorful when stewed. We always opt for dark chicken meat for the flavor but you can use chicken breast if that is your preference.<\/p>\n

Potatoes<\/strong>: They add heartiness and aid in thickening the stew. We\u2019re using a mix of Yukon gold and Russet.<\/p>\n

Kosher salt, Black pepper, Thyme, Sage, Bay Leaf<\/strong>: These seasonings enhance the overall flavor profile, with each herb bringing its own unique taste.<\/p>\n

Liquids and Final Touches<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Chicken Stock<\/strong>: Forms the liquid base of the stew, contributing to the overall richness and depth of flavor. Chicken broth works fine, too.<\/p>\n

Unsalted butter (for the roux):<\/strong> This is key for making your roux, which will thicken the stew and add a silky texture.<\/p>\n

Flour<\/strong>: Combines with the butter for the roux, giving your stew that perfect, hearty consistency.<\/p>\n

Heavy Cream<\/strong>: Adds creaminess and a smooth texture, rounding out the flavors.<\/p>\n

Frozen Green Peas<\/strong>: Provide a pop of color and a slight sweetness, balancing the savory notes.<\/p>\n

Fresh parsley<\/strong> (optional): Add this in at the end for a burst of fresh flavor and an additional dash of color.<\/p>\n

How To Make Chicken Stew<\/h2>\n

We recommend that you prep all the ingredients beforehand to make the cooking of this stew a breeze.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re done cutting up the chicken, go ahead and season it with kosher salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Once everything is cut up and ready to go, get a Dutch oven or similar heavy pot over medium-high heat, and then add the olive oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    When the oil is nice and hot, add the chicken to the pot. Do not overcrowd the pot, cook in batches if need be, and brown the chicken on both sides.<\/p>\n

    Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n

    \"Browned<\/figure>\n
    \n
      \n
    • Add the butter, onion, celery, and carrots. As the vegetables release their liquid, scrape the bottom of the pot, releasing those bits of yummy flavor (also called fond). Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      • Next, add the garlic, bay leaf, sage, and thyme. Stir and combine well and continue to cook for an additional minute.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

        \"Cooked<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Cook for two minutes to cook out the flour.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

          \n
            \n
          • Slowly add the broth (or stock) while stirring. Use a wooden spoon if you have one. Once you have added all the broth, add the potatoes and cooked chicken.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            \n

            • Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Partially cover the stew and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
              \n
                \n
              • Add the cream and parsley and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, then add the frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to make sure the peas are cooked then remove from the heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

                  Cook Ahead Of Time?<\/h2>\n

                  This chicken stew is a fantastic make-ahead meal. You can prepare it a day in advance, as the flavors often deepen and meld when the stew is allowed to rest overnight in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

                  Simply reheat it on the stove over low heat. This makes it an excellent choice for busy weeknights or when you need to prepare a meal for guests without last-minute hustle.<\/p>\n

                  Plus, the freezer-friendly nature of the stew allows for easy meal planning and ensures you always have a hearty dish ready to go.<\/p>\n

                  Tips<\/h2>\n

                  Stirring the Stew:<\/strong> Stir the stew occasionally while it simmers. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.<\/p>\n

                  Taste Test:<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget to taste your stew as it cooks. Adjust the seasoning as needed to get it just right.<\/p>\n

                  Leftovers:<\/strong> This stew tastes even better the next day, so don\u2019t be shy about making a big batch for leftovers.<\/p>\n

                  Variations<\/h2>\n

                  Go Green:<\/strong> Add some leafy greens like spinach or kale in the last few minutes of cooking for a nutritional boost.<\/p>\n

                  Spice It Up:<\/strong> For a bit of heat, throw in some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.<\/p>\n

                  Bulk It Up:<\/strong> Add other root vegetables like turnips or parsnips for more variety.<\/p>\n

                  Herb Twist:<\/strong> Feel free to experiment with different herbs. Rosemary or oregano can give a new twist to the flavor profile.<\/p>\n

                  Vegetarian Version:<\/strong> Swap out chicken for chickpeas and use vegetable stock for a hearty vegetarian stew.<\/p>\n
