This hearty one-pot chicken stew practically cooks itself! It’s made all in one-pot with tender chunks of chicken and savory veggies. Enjoy it with crusty bread for an ultimate cold-weather meal!

If you’re a fan of comfort food, try this Chicken Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna. It’s a delicious twist on traditional lasagna but with chicken and lightened-up white sauce.

This chicken stew is a readers’ favorite around here. It gets five star reviews because it’s very rustic, hearty, and just a delicious bowl of comfort food.

The best part, it’s made all in one pot, with simple ingredients, and kids absolutely go crazy for this comfort food. This one-pot chicken stew recipe was inspired by my trip to Cooper’s Mill Restaurant.

Cooper's Mill Restaurant

Couple of weeks ago I was invited to Cooper’s Mill Restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland for dinner. It’s a place I’ve never been to but was excited to try! Plus it was a girls date with my bestie Jen, so it was even more exciting.

The restaurant is all about farm to table, meaning eating local and eating well. Their menu is very rustic and modern at the same time, which goes so well with the overall look and feel of the restaurant. Rustic, sleek, and modern.

Cooper's Mill RestaurantOn the menu, you can find things such as the Quinoa Burger, Old School Tater-Tots, Pan-Roasted Rockfish, and Housemade Ricotta Cheese Flatbread. Plus they have a vast selection of craft brews from local breweries and handcrafted cocktails with a twist.

We started off with a cheese and salami board and charred cauliflower with caramelized onions, raisins, hazelnuts, and green goddess dressing.  The cauliflower was out of this world SO good!

Such an unusual combo of ingredients that tasted amazing. I think it might’ve been my favorite from our entire dinner.

For the main, I ordered good ole’ fashioned Maryland Crab Cake with old bay fries and my bestie ordered Buttermilk Chicken and Waffles. Both were absolutely delicious and we even had leftovers for home. Overall our time, experience, and food was so lovely.

Ingredients for Chicken Stew Recipe

The ingredients list for this chicken stew is short and sweet. You’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Chicken thighs – for best flavor use boneless, skinless thighs
  • Canola oil – or any other high-smoke point oil, such as avocado
  • Vegetables – carrots, sweet onion, baby potatoes
  • Garlic
  • Chicken stock – try our Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Stock
  • Flour – unbleached all-purpose
  • Bay leaf – dried
  • Fresh parsley – if you’re not fan of parsley, dry fresh dill

How to Make Stew Chicken Stew

  • Step 1: Over high heat, cook chicken in a dutch oven until brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the chicken out of the dutch oven to a plate. 
  • Step 2: Cook carrots and onions in the dutch oven until the onions begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Then add some of the chicken stock while scraping to loosen browned bits from the bottom.
  • Step 3: Whisk flour and 1/2 cup broth in a small bowl; add to the dutch oven. Stir in chicken and remaining broth. Add bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes over medium-low heat.
  • Step 4: Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender about 20 minutes. Stir in parsley and discard bay leaf before serving.

Step by step images showing how to make stew chicken recipeThe main ingredients for this stew chicken recipe are chicken, carrots, onions, and potatoes. Very simple. You just need time.

The chicken stew has to simmer for good 45 minutes altogether. But I promise it will be worth it.

It’s very thick and just warms you up from inside out. All you need is some crusty bread to dip into all those juices and you’re set!

Description

This hearty one-pot chicken stew practically cooks itself! It’s made all in one-pot with tender chunks of chicken and savory veggies. Enjoy it with crusty bread for an ultimate cold weather meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil or avocado oil
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium sweet onion, cut into 12 wedges
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 5 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 12 oz. baby white potatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Heat oil in a dutch oven over high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add carrots and onions to the dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring nonstop. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock while stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from the bottom of the dutch oven.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup broth; add to the dutch oven. Stir in chicken and remaining 4 cups of chicken broth. Add bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, partially covered.
  5. Add potatoes and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 18-20 minutes. The liquid will slightly reduce even further. Stir in parsley and discard bay leaf before serving.

Notes

  • My absolute favorite cutting boards and a heavy-duty dutch oven is a must have when making this recipe.

    I know I’m not supposed to change the recipe before trying it once….BUT, I had 8oz of mushrooms beginning to turn, so I threw those in after about 3/4 mins with the onions/carrots (quartered); I “finger-linged” 4 Yukon Gold potatoes (bigger ones than required in the recipe – and not the small white ones called for, because that’s what I had) by cutting them in 4s lengthwise; I also added a can of Cannellini (white) beans (drained) with the potatoes because it seemed like the right thing to do & I wanted to reduce the starch . Added a splash of sherry before stirring & then serving.
    Great recipe that can be adapted or expanded with other veggies (peas? fresh spinach?). Thank you!

        I have 2 questions,
        I am wondering if the thigh meat gets hard or chewy from browning it, then cooking it 20 min, then 20 min more after the addition of the potatoes?
        And – since many in my group don’t eat meat, can I make this and then maybe add some rotisserie chicken chunks when it’s almost done for the people who want meat? I am wondering if the browning of the chicken really adds to the flavor and it may be flavorless without the chicken.

          Hi Robin: yes browning the meat adds a lot of flavor and I do not recommend omitting that step. You want the chicken to cook in the broth/soup. It adds a lot of flavor and in part what makes this stew so flavorful. As far as the meat getting hard, it should not. Cut the chicken into approx 2-inch chunks and you should be fine.

    I found this recipe a little over a year ago. It had positive reviews and looked good, but I almost didn’t bother to make it because the ingredients seemed too simple to result in anything spectacular. Then I read the reviews again. They convinced me, so I decided to give it a try. My family devoured it!! I made it again a few days later, this time a double recipe. I still can’t believe how such simple ingredients can result in something so delicious. It is now over a year later and it is still a family favorite. I still make double batches! My kids often take it to school for lunch in thermoses. They request it often. I just wanted to come back here and let you know how much my family enjoys this recipe. Thank you so much. I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

    I made this tonight and it was simple and tasty. Just one question about the part where you brown the chicken: I have a fairly small dutch oven so I had to brown the chicken in 3 batches so as not to crowd the pan too much. By the time I cooked the 3rd batch, the bottom of the pan was black, not brown. Is that normal? What can I do to make sure that the bottom doesn’t burn – just the thought of eating the burnt bits makes me a bit uneasy.

      I would think the heat was too high if the bottom of your dutch oven was burnt. Also a lot of times if the dutch oven does not have a heavy duty bottom, it will burn as well.

    Delicious. I boned chicken pieces myself so used thigh, breast, and leg. It was great though I think just thighs would be better. Added cornstarch towards the end to thicken it more. It was still a cross between a thick soup and a stew but tasted wonderful. I think that almost any vegies would work as long as the onions and garlic are still used. Wonderful, easy, comfort food.

    This is a great recipe. I must have done something wrong though because my chicken turned into strings in the stew by the time it was ready to serve. I followed your recipe. except I broke the chicken up into small pieces (maybe about the size of olives) before adding to the stew. What could have gone wrong? Did I stir too much? I stirred the soup pot just enough to make sure everything was cooking evenly (about every 5 minutes) until it was done.

      Usually chicken turns stringy when it’s overcooked. I’m guessing maybe the chicken chunks were too small to begin with.

        I have this recipe on the stove here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Smells great, however since I am in Mexico, I am obligated, as part of my residency agreement, to use chili and thereby make the dish Mexican. Instead of potatoes, for roughly the same reason, I elimated the potatoes and used rice instead.

        I followed your instructions and did a seven minute manual pressure then eight minutes natural pressure release and I added fresh rosemary and thyme and the flavor was fantastic. I do recommend thickening the broth once this is completed cooking. I only halved my baby potatoes instead of quarters so they would not turn to much. And I did all my sautéing right in the instant pot

      This stew is really the color of chicken soup and not dark as it appears in the picture. The broth is not very thick either. The stew part really comes in with the large chunks of veggies and chicken and the fact that the broth to chick/veggies is greater than with a soup.

    Made this in crockpot & works! Boiled & cut up chicken then added all to pot for 8 hrs. Thirty minutes before serving, turned pot to low/warm & took out about 4 cups of liquid to pan on stove and did a beurre manie (see http://www.finecooking.com/article/thicken-stews-with-beurre-manie) until desired thickness. Added that back to pot, stirred, & served (note: stew kept consistency 2 hrs later when another family member arrived). I served with biscuits. YUM!!

    Can I ask why you don’t put the potatoes and chicken in together, cover it and just leave it in the oven on a slow cook? Why add the potatoes late and cook uncovered?

    Reply
    • Katya says

      December 29, 2017 at 8:04 PM

      Hi Jimi: you can certainly try that. Searing meat first brings out a lot of flavor before adding in the rest of the ingredients. You want to keep the pot uncovered in order for some of the liquid to reduce in the time indicated. Hope that answers your question.

      Are you referring to red meat? As in beef? I’m assuming you can tweak the recipe to include the red meat but as far as cooking times, I can’t really answer as I haven’t personally tried it.

    I was looking for a comfort stew on a cold, rainy fall day, and this stew hit the spot! So flavorful and super easy. We added thawed peas right at the very end, and used brown rice flour to make it gluten free. Saving this recipe to make often. It’s like a thick chicken noodle soup, but with potatoes instead of noodles. LOVED it!

    • Katya says

      October 26, 2017 at 12:50 PM

      Hi Amanda: my favorite way to thicken soups/stews/etc. without the flour is to puree some of the cooked soup. It worked for me every single time. However, since this one has meat, I would puree some of the stew (without the chicken though) and stir it back in. It should thicken it enough. You can also try your version but it’s so hard to say how it will do since I haven’t personally tried it. Let me know if you have any more questions. You can refer to this recipe to see how I thickened it: https://www.littlebroken.com/2014/10/14/lentil-chili/

      Hi Bonnie: you can try pureeing some of the cooked soup (without the chicken) and it will give you a thick/creamy texture (probably slightly different than what the flour would) but at least it would be flourless. I do that on a lot with my veggie soups/chilies.

    I can’t get over how simple this recipie was and how delicious it turned out! Even the chicken turned out so good not dry or crumbly! Only addition I made, was to put in a few whites of spring onions along with a small regular onion.
    My gravy didn’t evaporate as much so I ended up with a more of a thick soup consistency but I was fine with that!
    All in all two thumbs up 🙂

    It’s rainy and a little chilly, spring day. I’ll bring in some fresh spring herbs to season with, will add a little chives and some parsley And maybe some of the greens popping up to supplement my baby parsley to top it, like the sour cream idea with my chives.. Making this now, it’s smelling amazing, will be a delicious meal. I’ve needed to season it with salt and pepper and added a little poultry seasoning. Hoping it has really great flavor. I love that it’s a staple dish, don’t need to run out for any fancy ingredients to make this. My toddler daughter is getting hungry for it, I think it’s the appetizing aromas 🙂
