Chicken and Veggie Stew

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add carrots, celery, potatoes, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and return the chicken to the pot. Stir in thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes, until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and taste for seasoning adjustments. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
