Add the chicken, butter, and spices to a large pot. Cook the chicken over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Without removing the chicken, add the diced carrots, celery, and onions to the pot. Cook the veggies for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
Add the chicken broth and diced potatoes. Maintain the heat at a medium temperature and allow the stew to simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and tender.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store your leftover stew in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep it in an airtight container and reheat it in the microwave for about 1 minute.
This stew is great topped with some fresh parsley. For some extra sharp flavor you can also use a pinch of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Because of all the salt in the broth, I like to salt and pepper my stew to taste as it is being served. I personally do not think it needs any salt or pepper added.
Cooking the veggies before adding the broth helps them tenderize faster and releases some of their flavor, allowing it to blend together as the stew simmers.
If you have fresh garlic, you can use 2 cloves of freshly minced garlic in place of the garlic powder.
