Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Stir in the thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and return the browned chicken to the pot.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
