Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 Celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium Potatoes, diced
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Return the chicken to the pot, and add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and thyme.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut milk and frozen peas. Simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
