Equipment

  • 1 cooking pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken drumsticks or thighs (bone-in, skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 chicken/vegetables broth (or water)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried dill 
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat avocado oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside (it will finish cooking in the stew).
  • In the same pot, add chopped onion. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add diced potatoes, celery, and sliced carrots to the pot.
  • Return the seared chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Add thyme, dill, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the green peas. Simmer uncovered for an additional 5–7 minutes until the peas are heated through and stew thickens slightly. Remove bay leaf.
  • Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
