This easy Chicken Stew combines browned chicken thighs with onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, green beans and peas in a rich creamy chicken broth that is perfectly seasoned. It is great comfort food and perfect for that middle of the week pick me up. I love to serve it with fresh biscuits and soft butter.
