Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Season the vegetables generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

03

Step
2 mins

Stir in the butter until melted, then add the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously to coat the vegetables and create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.

04

Step
1 mins

Gradually pour in the chicken broth and milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the dried thyme, salt, pepper, and turmeric.

05

Step
15 mins

Stir in the frozen peas and corn. Add the diced cooked chicken and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and allow the stew to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

06

Step
0 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Add a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra creaminess.
If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can poach chicken breasts in the broth before adding the vegetables.
