Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ lbs chicken breast, cubed (or 2-3 cups already cooked, shredded chicken)
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 large carrots, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed clean, chopped in 1 inch cubes (I leave skin on)
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven or soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sauté chicken until no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
  • Add remaining olive oil and butter to the pot.
  • Add diced onions, carrots, and celery and cook until onions are soft and translucent. About 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic and sauté another minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add chicken and any juices back to the pot and sprinkle it all with flour.
  • Stir to combine everything, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly add in the chicken stock, while stirring and scraping the bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Gently and slowly add potatoes, bay leaf, salt and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Bring stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes and stirring often.
  • Stir in frozen peas and corn.
  • Let simmer another 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy.
