Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Stew
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables:
In the same pot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Simmer the Stew:
Return the chicken to the pot and pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in thyme and rosemary.
Add the potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add Remaining Vegetables:
Stir in green beans and corn. Simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the stew is slightly thickened.
Serve:
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
