Chicken Stew

[heart_this] · Mar 12, 2026 · 2 Comments

Chicken Stew

A tasty chicken stew filled with plenty of vegetables and herbs!

When I think of stew, I normally think of a beef stew but chicken stews are also amazing! This is an easy, and tasty chicken stew that’s hearty and full of flavour! It starts out by cooking the chicken followed by veggies; onion, celery, and carrots before adding the herbs; sage, rosemary, and thyme. Broth is added along with potatoes and everything is simmered until the potatoes are tender. I like to add a bit of cream and parmesan before finishing off with peas and a hit of fresh parsley. This recipe takes some time to time to make, with all of the sliced, dicing and multiple stages of cooking but, it’s simple and well worth the effort! This chicken stew is the perfect comfort food!

A tasty chicken stew filled with plenty of vegetables and herbs!

ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoon flour (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrot, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 teaspoons thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 tablespoon flour (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 6 cups chicken broth (link)
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 2 bay leaves (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
  • 1 cup peas (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
directions
  1. Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the chicken, mixed with the flour, and cook, about 8-10 minutes, before setting aside.
  2. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and thyme, sprinkle in the flour, mix well and cook for a minute.
  4. Add 1/2 cup broth, and deglaze the pan by scraping up and brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a spoon as the broth simmers.
  5. Add the remaining broth, the chicken, potatoes, and bay leaves, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the bay leaves, add the cream and parmesan, mix and let the cheese melt into the broth.
  7. Add the peas and parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
Option: Omit the flour! It’s there to help thicken the broth.
Option: Add 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced, along with the onions.
Option: Add 1 bell pepper, diced, along with the onions.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste, along with the garlic.
Option: Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, along with the broth.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free for gluten-free), along with the broth.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free for gluten-free), along with the broth.

    Why is flour listed twice in the ingredient list, but only mentioned once in the directions?

      The first flour should be mixed with the chicken before cooking it in the oil and butter in step 1. (I have updated the recipe to indicate this.) The second flour listing is sprinkled in in step 3. Enjoy!
