1 lb chicken thighs sliced into small pieces, about 4 chicken thighs, skinless/boneless
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 tablespoons butter
8 oz. mushrooms washed and sliced
2 carrots diced
2 small zucchini diced
5 cups potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes, about 5 medium potatoes
5 cups chicken broth more if needed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon Garlic and Herb Seasoning (from Costco) or Mrs.Dash Original Seasoning, or your favorite poultry seasoning to taste
sea salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup parsley finely chopped

Using a dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken thigh pieces and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring few times.
Next, add chopped onion and butter, saute for 5 minutes stirring few times.
After add the rest of the veggies - diced mushrooms, carrots and zucchini, stir and saute for 5-7 minutes. Stirring few times.
Now, add cubed potatoes, chicken broth (I use Homemade Chicken Broth), bay leaves & garlic and herb seasoning. Bring everything to a gentle boil.
Cover with a lid & simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes. If needed, season more with salt and pepper. Finally garnish chicken stew with chopped parsley. Enjoy with Cucumber Sandwiches.

Make sure to brown the chicken first for that extra flavor boost!
Try to dice your veggies to a similar size so that you get a yummy mix in every bite.
Use the best ingredients you can find for a nutrient-packed soup. Fresh, organic veggies and homemade broth (I have a fantastic Instant Pot chicken bone broth recipe you can use) work wonders. Also, switch up the veggies based on what's in season.
If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick. Enjoy!
