Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 4 medium carrots
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the onion and celery, and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 2-3 minutes to allow them to begin softening.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the liquid covers the ingredients.

Step 8

Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Remove the lid, discard the bay leaf, and check the seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the Chicken Carrot Stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
