  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 onions, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 625 ml (2 1/2 cups) chicken stock or broth
  • 1 teaspoon tomato puree
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into chunks and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan and fry the chicken until no longer pink. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add chopped onions and cook until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, and bay leaves. Return the chicken to the pan.
  6. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add more stock or water if a thinner consistency is desired.
  7. Stir in the tomato puree, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and dill before serving.

Notes

  • This stew is adaptable—add other vegetables like peas, green beans, or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for a richer flavor, if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
  • Freezes well—cool completely before freezing in airtight containers.
