Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add carrots, celery, potatoes, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in chicken broth and return the chicken to the pot. Stir in thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Remove the bay leaf and taste for seasoning adjustments. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
