Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Brown the chicken pieces on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 4
Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, additional salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the chicken stew for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 7
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
