Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 500 g potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces (optional)
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for slurry)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned (5–7 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add more oil if needed. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened (4–5 minutes).
  • Stir in tomato paste, then add chicken broth, water, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, bay leaf, and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil.
  • Return the browned chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour or cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew and simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken.
  • Add peas and green beans (if using). Simmer for 5 more minutes until heated through.
  • Remove bay leaf. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread.
