  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 lb carrots sliced
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes cut in half

Meat

  • 1.75 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

Herbs and Spices

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Fats

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Thickeners

  • 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour divided

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Dice the onion and celery, mince the garlic, slice the carrots, and cut the baby potatoes in half before you begin.
  • Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle 2 tablespoon of the flour over the chicken and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Add the butter and olive oil to a large pot. Heat the butter and oil over medium until they are hot and sizzling.
  • Add the flour-coated chicken to the pot with the butter and oil and allow the chicken to brown on all sides. When browned, remove the chicken to a clean bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the onion, celery, garlic, and carrots to the pot and continue to sauté until the onions are soft.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoon flour to the pot and continue to sauté over medium for about two minutes more.
  • Return the browned chicken to the pot along with the potatoes, parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, pepper, chicken broth, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
  • Place a lid on the pot and allow it to come up to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, remove the lid and turn the heat down to medium-low.
  • Allow the stew to simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened.
  • Taste the stew and add salt if needed. Add a tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
