Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Chicken

1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.
2. Brown the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Sautéing the Vegetables

3. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
4. Add the Carrots and Celery: Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Building the Stew

5. Add the Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly and enhance the flavor.
6. Add the Broth and Herbs: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the bay leaves and thyme.
7. Return the Chicken: Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
