Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients :

  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into strips

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 1 large carrot, shredded

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste or grated tomato

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water

  • 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, parsley, or mixed)

  • Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

How to Make It :

1️⃣ Sear the Chicken:

  • In a deep skillet or pot, heat olive oil and cook the chicken strips until lightly golden. This creates a juicy, flavorful protein base and kicks off your easy one-pan dinner.

2️⃣ Sauté the Veggies:

  • Add onion, garlic, and carrots to the same pan. Cook until softened – this builds a rich, savory aroma and packs in that classic comfort food flavor.

3️⃣ Add Potatoes & Tomato:

  • Stir in the chopped potatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to coat everything – this gives the dish that simmered-to-perfection feel and deep hearty taste.

4️⃣ Simmer & Season:

  • Pour in chicken broth, sprinkle herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, until potatoes are tender – weeknight dinner win right here!

5️⃣ Finish & Serve:

  • Uncover and give it a gentle stir. Serve hot in bowls – this dish is stick-to-your-ribs satisfying and perfect for chilly nights.

Notes

Cooking Note

Use boneless chicken breast or thighs for best texture. Let the stew rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle. Easily adaptable with sweet potatoes or peas for variation.
