Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 6 cups Chicken stock
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Slice the celery stalks into 1/2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in the pot for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken stock and add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, soy sauce, and the seared chicken thighs. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

If you prefer a thicker broth, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Gradually stir it into the hot pot and simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes until the broth thickens.

Step 9

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Ladle the chicken hot pot into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
