Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast diced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large carrots diced
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free flour
  • A few sprigs of fresh rosemary thyme, and sage
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 ½ cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 oz cream cheese

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large dutch oven or rimmed skillet over medium meat.
  • Add in the chicken and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until slightly golden on all sides, then set aside. 4-5 minutes.
  • To the same preheated pot add the onions, carrots, celery, and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with flour and continue to cook for 1 minute more. Add broth and stir until well combined.
  • Stir in the potatoes, sweet potatoes, red pepper, browned chicken, and herbs. Mix well to combine and allow it to get to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pot; simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Once the time is up and the veggies are tender, remove and discard the herb sprigs.
  • Stir in the peas and cheese cream. Mix well and stir for a minute or so.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Switch out the chicken with another protein like lean beef
  • Feel free to switch out some of the veggies with other veggies like green beans or zucchini.
  • Any potatoes will work. We used sweet potatoes to mix it up a bit with a hint of sweetness but you can certainly make this chicken stew without.
  • Try adding some greens like spinach or kale
  • Swap the cream cheese with some coconut milk or heavy cream.
  • If you don't have chicken broth, use vegetable broth or chicken bouillon and water.
