Choreography of Ingredients
1. Ensemble of Ingredients:
- Begin by assembling the cast: 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed; 3 ample potatoes, peeled and diced; 2 carrots, their vibrant orange skin peeled away and sliced; 1 onion, diced finely; and 2 cloves of garlic, minced with love.
2. Orchestration of Broth:
- In a symphonic pot, apply a gentle touch of oil over medium heat. As the stage warms, introduce the diced chicken, leading it to a state of golden-brown glory. Once achieved, allow the chicken its grand exit from the pot, reserving its triumph for later.
3. Flourish of Aromatics:
- In the same pot, a melodious sauté unfolds. The diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrots take their turn in the spotlight, as they undergo a transformation to tender elegance.
4. Harmonious Reunion:
- It is now time for a heartwarming reunion. The golden chicken, once revered, is summoned back to the pot. The cubed potatoes join the ensemble, joined by the company of chicken broth, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper, uniting their voices in a harmonious medley.
Simmering Symphony
1. Simmering Overture:
- With the stage set, allow the orchestration to unfurl. The pot’s contents shall gracefully reach a simmering crescendo. Lower the curtains with the lid’s gentle embrace and let the stew simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes offer no resistance to the touch.
2. Flourish of Peas:
- As the finale draws near, invite frozen peas to the scene, their vibrant green hue adding a pop of color to the melodic medley. Allow them their moment to shine during an additional 5-minute act.
