Ingredients Needed:
Potatoes: I like using Yukon gold potatoes in this stew. Baby white potatoes or Russet potatoes would work well too. if they have a smooth skin then no need to peel! Vegetables: a classic combination of carrots, celery, and onion will provide a great savory base for this stew. Seasoning: freshly minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, dried thyme, black pepper, and my bay leaf Chicken: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Broth: chicken broth will add a great depth of flavor. You can use vegetable broth if you prefer it. Corn Starch: this will help thicken the stew as it cooks. Peas: frozen peas will work well here for a fresh flavor, add in before serving.
