Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Hearty Chicken Stew.
Step 1
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs, allowing them to brown for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, then remove them from the pot and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, introduce the salted butter, letting it melt gently without burning.
Step 4
Next, toss in the chopped carrots, celery, sliced onion, and mushrooms.
Step 5
Sauté these vibrant vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and the onion turns translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 6
Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mixture to form a roux, stirring continuously for 10 to 15 minutes until it deepens in color.
Step 7
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to blend everything smoothly.
Step 8
Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot, lower the heat, and let the stew simmer for 1 to 1.
Step 9
5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender enough to shred effortlessly.
Step 10
Finally, season your hearty stew with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 11
Serve it hot in bowls or on plates, and enjoy a comforting meal that warms both the body and soul.
