How to make Chicken Stew with Potatoes
Let’s start preparing the chicken stew with potatoes. Remove any excess fat and any small bones from the chicken breast, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Clean the vegetables: cut the carrot and celery into small pieces and thinly slice the onion. Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut into pieces.
Pour a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil into a pot, add the carrot, celery and onion, place over the heat and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the chicken pieces and let them brown. Add the tomato purée, the vegetable broth and the potatoes, then cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If you like, you can add a few basil leaves. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little water or some more vegetable broth.
