Chicken Stew

By -


I have become a fan of rotisserie chicken, so sometimes I slice up the meat, and make broth out of the bones. For this soup, I didn't cook the chicken in the soup like it says, I added the chopped up chicken at the end. I loved the frozen green beans, and the little potatoes. Kalon was a fan.

Yield:4 servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 6 ounces) 
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced (about 5 ounces)
  • 3 stalks celery, diced (about 3 ounces) 
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs ( 3 to 4 depending on size)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 cup (1-inch pieces) green beans (about 4 ounces)
  • ½ cup heavy cream 
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage 
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh parsley, for serving 
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven on medium. Add butter, olive oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, paprika and a big pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and vinegar and stir until flour is incorporated.

Step 3

Add chicken thighs, potatoes, green beans, heavy cream, sage, thyme, oregano, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Bring the stew to a gentle boil on medium-high and then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer, with the lid partially covering the pot, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the chicken to a plate. Completely cover the pot with the lid and let the vegetables cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until desired doneness. Meanwhile, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces with two forks, then return the chicken to the pot. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Serve warm, garnished with parsley, with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Tip
  • The stew can be frozen for up to 3 months, then defrosted for easy reheating.
