Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil - divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion - diced
  • 5 cloves finely chopped garlic
  • 3 peeled carrots - 1/2 inch diagonally sliced
  • 2-3 stalks of celery - diced
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 whole dried bay leaves
  • 1 cup diced baby red potatoes
  • 1 cup diced butternut squash
  • 1-2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven

Notes

  1. Add 1 Tbsp EVOO to Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat.  Add diced chicken thighs, salt and pepper to taste.  Saute until chicken is lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken from pot with slotted spoon, place on plate.  Keep chicken nearby until it's time to re-add it to pot.
  3. Add 1 Tbsp EVOO to your pot, then add diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes)
  4. Add 1 final Tbsp of EVOO to your pot, then stir in 1/4 cup of flour.  Cook over medium heat while stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Slowly add chicken stock and wine, while stirring and scraping up any browned bits. This will form a thick sauce.
  6. Add chicken back in, as well as diced potatoes, butternut squash, Worcestershire and herbs.  Add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.  Bring to a light boil, then cover pot with lid and reduce heat to low.
  7. Allow pot to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring and scraping bottom every 10-15 minutes to prevent sticking.
  8. Stir in sliced mushrooms, and replace the lid on pot.  Allow this to simmer another 15 minutes.
  9. Stir in diced zucchini, and replace lid.  Allow this to simmer another 5 minutes.
  10. Stir in thawed peas, and replace lid.  This will only need to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Finally, stir in chopped parsley just before serving.
