Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 4 cloves, minced garlic
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 14 ounces, canned or frozen, drained artichoke hearts
• 1 large lemon, freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon, dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons, fresh chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 12 small, halved baby potatoes
• 3 large, peeled and cut into chunks carrots

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat. Cook for another minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth base for the stew.

Step 8

Add the artichoke hearts, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, baby potatoes, and carrots to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 10

Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
