Instructions
Toss the chicken with the salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add half of the chicken. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a plate and repeat with the rest of the chicken. Set aside.
Add the rest of the butter and allow it to melt. Add the carrots, onion, and celery. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Slowly pour in the wine scraping the bottom of the pot as you pour. Gently simmer for 2 minutes or until the wine reduces by half.
Add the flour to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute or until there are no more dry spots.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth stirring as you pour. Add the potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and the chicken and any juices they released. Stir to combine everything.
Gently simmer adjusting the heat as needed. Avoid bringing the stew to a boil. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
Remove the bay leaf. Mix in the parsley and add salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
You can use regular or low-sodium chicken broth depending on your preferences. Low-sodium allows for more control over the amount of salt in the final dish.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
