Hey everyone! It's Thursday, which means we're all in that "almost Friday" mindset, right? But before we can hit the weekend, we've gotta tackle those weeknight dinners. Don't worry, Raw Nature Cuisine is here to help you conquer the kitchen with ease (and tons of flavor!).
Today, we're sharing a super simple and satisfying chicken stew recipe that's perfect for those busy evenings. It's a one-pot wonder that comes together quickly, meaning less time spent cooking and more time relaxing. Plus, with our incredible spices and herbs, you'll create a dish that tastes like it simmered all day long.
Gather your ingredients:
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced (our Garlic Minced makes this a snap!)
4 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp Black Pepper Butcher Cut for a bold peppery kick
1 tsp Cumin Ground to add warmth and depth
1 tsp Greek Cut Mexican Oregano for an earthy, savory note
1/2 tsp Thyme Whole for a touch of herbal goodness
1 Bay Leaf Whole to enhance the overall flavor
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup frozen peas for a pop of freshness
Himalayan Pink Salt to taste (because ordinary salt just won't do!)
Fresh parsley (or our Parsley Flakes) for a final flourish
Let's get cooking!
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's beautifully browned on all sides.
Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until they soften up a bit, about 5 minutes. Now, stir in that minced garlic and cook for another minute until your kitchen smells amazing!
Time to build those incredible flavors! Pour in the chicken broth and add the black pepper, cumin, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring it all to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
While that simmers, whisk together the flour and cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the stew, stirring all the while. This creates a lovely, thick sauce.
Add the peas and cook for 5 more minutes until they're heated through. Season with our Himalayan Pink Salt to your liking.
Fish out the bay leaf and serve your masterpiece hot, garnished with fresh parsley!
