Ingredients
Scale
1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cooked and shredded
2 tbsp 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 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add Vegetables and Broth: Add carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, and water to the pot. Stir in tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add Chicken and Peas: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Let it simmer for another 5–10 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
Notes
You can use bone-in chicken for added flavor and shred the meat once it’s cooked.
If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash a few of the potatoes with a spoon during the simmering process.
This stew keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
