How To Make chicken stew
-
1In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add oil and when hot, add chicken pieces and generously season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
-
2Toss until no longer pink; about 5 minutes. If the meat sticks at the bottom of the pot add a little oil.
-
3Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
-
4Add butter and when melted, add onions, carrot and celery; cook for 7 minutes.
-
5Add red peppers and sauté for 2 minutes.
-
6Add garlic, rosemary, and thyme; sauté for 30 seconds. Add flour. Stir to coat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
7Add potatoes, broth, and return chicken pieces including any accumulated juices. Stir well, add bay leaves, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil.
-
8When it gets there, cover and reduce heat back to medium. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
9The last 5 minutes, remove the lid and add cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for the remaining time, uncovered.
-
10Add blanched green beans and frozen peas. Bring the mixture back to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, uncovered.
-
11Stir in heavy cream and when it starts simmering again. Set the timer for 2 minutes.
