• 2 tablespoon celery stalk, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 sprig thyme
• 1 inch cinnamon stick
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 small size onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium size carrot, finely chopped

• 2 Cup chicken stock or bouillion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• black pepper to taste
• Handful of parsley, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Clean the chicken. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Coat them with flour. Gently tap the chicken on kitchen counter
2. 2Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3. 3Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken and set aside on a platter.
4. 4In the same pot, add the minced garlic, celery, cinnamon, thyme, and onion. Sauté until translucent, about 2–3 minutes or until fragrant.
5. 5Add the carrot, beans, zucchini, and saute for a minute. Do not add potato and green peas at this stage.
6. 6Deglaze the pot with a splash of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom (these add rich flavour!).
7. 7Return the chicken to the pot. Add the cubed potatoes, green peas, salt, pepper, remaining chicken broth, and oregano. Bring the stew to a gentle boil.
8. 8Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 – 20 minutes. The stew is ready when the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. Taste the stew and adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
9. 9Ladle the warm stew into bowls, sprinkle fresh parsley, and enjoy with crusty bread
