Ingredients

• 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 large russet potatoes, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Return the browned chicken to the pot, and add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas and heavy cream, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
