Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots, diced celery, and halved baby potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.

Step 7

Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the stew. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf from the skillet and discard. Stir in the frozen peas and allow them to warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
