Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 large onion chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups water
3 cups potatoes cubed, skin-on
1 cup carrot diced
1 tablespoon chicken soup base
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
1/2 cup green bell pepper diced
1 cup button mushrooms chopped

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients

Begin by preparing all ingredients. Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, chop the onion and bell pepper, cube the potatoes (leaving the skin on if desired), and dice the carrot. Measure out remaining ingredients and set them aside.

Sauté Chicken and Onion

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and chopped onion. Sauté for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and the onions are translucent.

Incorporate Flour

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed chicken and onions. Stir well to evenly coat the ingredients, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. This will thicken the stew as it cooks.

Add Liquids and Main Ingredients

Pour in the water, then add the cubed potatoes, diced carrot, chicken soup base, and herbes de Provence. Stir to combine. Cover the pan and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots begin to soften.

Final Vegetables and Simmer

Add the diced green bell pepper and chopped button mushrooms to the pan. Cover again and continue simmering for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and the flavors are well integrated.

Serve

Once cooked, serve the chicken stew hot. Pair with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Notes

To make this chicken stew gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water before adding it to the stew to ensure a smooth, thickened consistency.
