Description

A warm and comforting chicken and vegetable stew that brings joy and togetherness to any meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cooked and shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, and water. Mix in the tomato paste, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the pot. Stir to combine and let simmer for another 5–10 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
  4. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread or warm rolls for a complete meal.
