Chicken Stew With Vegetables Recipe

Preparation of Ingredients

Begin by preparing the vegetables: wash and peel the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cut the potatoes into cubes, slice the carrots and mushrooms, dice the onion, and mince the garlic. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring that any excess fat is removed.

Cooking the Stew

In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pot, add the onions and garlic, cooking until they are soft and translucent. Return the chicken to the pot along with the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken stock or water, ensuring that the ingredients are well covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Finishing Touches

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. The stew should have naturally thickened from the cooking process. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme for an extra touch of flavor.
