Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 whole medium onion, diced
• 2 whole carrots, sliced
• 2 whole celery stalks, sliced
• 3 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Add the cubed potatoes and cooked chicken back into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring all ingredients are covered. Bring to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer covered for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and cornstarch until smooth.

Step 8

Slowly pour the milk mixture into the pot, stirring continuously until the stew thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen peas, then add salt and black pepper to taste. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
