Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • chef's knife
  • Garlic Press

Ingredients
  

  • 1 each yellow onion $0.28
  • 3 ribs celery $0.64
  • 4 cloves garlic $0.32
  • 0.5 lb carrots $0.32
  • 1.75 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs $6.52
  • 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided $0.02
  • 2 tablespoon butter $0.18
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil $0.16
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes $2.89
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley $0.10
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme $0.05
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary $0.05
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried sage $0.05
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper $0.02
  • 2 cups chicken broth $0.26
  • 2 cups vegetable broth $0.26
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional) $0.10

Instructions
 

  • Dice the onion and celery, mince the garlic, slice the carrots, and cut the baby potatoes in half before you begin.
  • Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle 2 tablespoon of the flour over the chicken and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Add the butter and olive oil to a large pot. Heat the butter and oil over medium until they are hot and sizzling.
  • Add the flour-coated chicken to the pot with the butter and oil and allow the chicken to brown on all sides (avoid stirring until browned on the bottom). When the chicken is browned and there is a nice brown layer of flour on the bottom of the pot, remove the chicken to a clean bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the onion, celery, garlic, and carrots to the pot and continue to sauté until the onions are soft.
  • Once the vegetables are slightly softened, add the remaining 2 tablespoon flour to the pot and continue to sauté over medium for about two minutes more.
  • Return the browned chicken to the pot. Also add the potatoes, parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, pepper, chicken broth, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and dissolve any flour off the bottom of the pot.
  • Place a lid on the pot and allow it to come up to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, remove the lid and turn the heat down to medium-low.
  • Allow the stew to simmer over medium-low for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened.
  • Taste the stew and add salt if needed. Add a tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
