Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken (bone-in, skin-on, cut into pieces)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 4 medium potatoes (quartered)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, working in batches if necessary, and then remove them from the pot.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Saute for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

Add the browned chicken pieces back to the pot, along with the dried thyme and bay leaf.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 45 minutes.

Step 8

After 45 minutes, add the quartered potatoes to the pot. Cover and continue to cook for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken and potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the stewed chicken hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
