Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 lb Little Trios™ Little Potatoes, quartered
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • (For garnish) fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Heat oil in 4-quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat.

  • Step 2

    Add chicken thighs and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until beginning to soften.

  • Step 4

    Add garlic, salt, parsley, thyme, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir and cook one minute.

  • Step 5

    Add 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth to the pot and scrape the bottom well to remove any browned bits. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

  • Step 6

    Add the chicken thighs back to the pot, pressing them down into the liquid.

  • Step 7

    Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes and carrots are tender.

  • Step 8

    Remove chicken and shred.

  • Step 9

    Whisk together remaining half cup broth and corn starch and add back into the pot with the chicken.

  • Step 10

    Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Serve with fresh parsley if desired.
