A hearty and flavorful chicken stew packed with vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the onions.
Stir in the garlic, thyme, and bay leaf, cooking until fragrant.
Lower the heat slightly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as needed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent it from boiling over.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and chicken thighs to the pot.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the stew doesn't dry out; add water if needed.
If desired, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water and stir into the stew to thicken.
Add the cornstarch mixture gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
