Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts and thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boiling potatoes
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

  • Brown the chicken: Before adding the chicken to the stew, brown it in a skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to seal in the juices and give the chicken a nice golden color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your stew, the more flavorful it will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, corn, and peas.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a lot of body. A good option is to use a homemade chicken broth.
  • Season the stew well: Don't be afraid to season your stew with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Simmer the stew for a long time: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
