30 Sep One Pot Hearty Chicken Stew

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into 2-inch chunks

1 Tbsp. canola oil

3 medium carrots, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces

1 medium sweet onion, cut into 12 wedges

6 garlic cloves, chopped

5 cups chicken stock, divided

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

12 oz. baby white potatoes, quartered

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

This hearty one-pot chicken stew practically cooks itself! It’s made all in one-pot with tender chunks of chicken and savory veggies. Best served with Crusty Bread!

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat oil in a pot over high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add carrots and onions to the pot and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring nonstop. Add ½ cup chicken stock while stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from the bottom of the pot. In a small bowl, whisk together our and ½ cup broth; add to the pot. Stir in chicken and remaining 4 cups of chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, partially covered. Add potatoes and cook uncovered until potatoes are soft, about 18-20 minutes.
