Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Chicken

    Add the free-range chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the same pot, add the bone broth, diced tomatoes, corn, butter beans, diced potatoes, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken Back

    Return the browned chicken to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the broth mixture.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.

  6. 6

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the stew and mix well.

  7. 7

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
