Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat until foamy.
2
Add the carrots and celery; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
3
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables; cook 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
5
Add the chicken, thyme, bay leaf, potatoes, and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, season again with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
6
Take the pot off the heat. Discard the bay leaf, transfer the chicken to a bowl, shred with two forks, and return it to the stew, stirring to combine.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and finish with chopped parsley.
