Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4-6 chicken thighs skinless
  • 2 medium carrots chopped
  • 1 medium red pepper chopped
  • 1 rib celery chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add the chicken thighs to the pot. Brown them on both sides (about 3-4 minutes on each side).
  • Add the carrots, red pepper, celery, and onion to the pot and saute for a few minutes. Add the garlic and saute one additional minute.
  • To the pot, add the tomato sauce and water. Allow the chicken and vegetables to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. If the chicken is cooked through but the veggies need more time, remove the chicken and allow the veggies to cook until they reach your desired tenderness.
    [Note: If needed, add more liquid if too much has cooked off.]
  • Add the chickpeas and parsley to the pot and cook for 5 more minutes. Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed.
