Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, ensuring any excess fat is trimmed off.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the carrots, potatoes, and celery. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    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. 4

    Brown the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables and Liquid

    Stir in the diced carrots, potatoes, and celery. Pour in the chicken broth and water, and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Season the Stew

    Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Stew

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot.
