Chicken Stew with Carrots and Potatoes

A hearty and delicious stew made with tender chicken, sweet carrots, and creamy potatoes. This recipe is perfect for a comforting meal on a chilly day.

1. Begin by preparing the ingredients. Peel and chop the carrots into bite-sized pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Cut the chicken into small chunks.
2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until it turns golden brown on all sides.
3. Once the chicken is browned, add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir everything together to coat the vegetables in the oil and chicken juices.
4. Pour in enough water or chicken broth to cover the ingredients. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
5. Season the stew with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. You can use thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves for added flavor.
6. Continue simmering the stew for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Once the stew is cooked, remove it from the heat. You can serve it as-is for a chunky stew, or you can use a blender to puree a portion of it for a thicker consistency.
8. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with some fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy this delectable Chicken Stew with Carrots and Potatoes.
