Tips:

Choose the right chicken. For a flavorful stew, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. The bones and skin will add richness and flavor to the broth.
Brown the chicken before stewing. Browning the chicken in a little oil before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice color.
Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you add to your stew, the more flavorful it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and green beans.
Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your stew. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper.
Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour. The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the chicken and vegetables will become and the more flavorful the broth will be.
Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice. Crusty bread or rice is a great way to soak up all of the delicious broth from the stew.
