  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by chopping all your vegetables and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and quick preparation.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. This step adds flavor and richness to the stew.
  4. Throw in the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften the vegetables slightly before adding liquids.
  5. Pour the chicken broth and diced tomatoes into the pot. Stir well, scraping the bottom to deglaze, and bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Add dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  7. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice.

Notes

  • Let the stew cool to room temperature before transferring it to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove over medium heat until steaming. It’s even better the next day as flavors deepen.
