Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Add the cooked chicken back into the pot along with fresh thyme leaves.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until melted and well combined, creating a creamy sauce.

Step 10

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew is thickened to your liking.
