Method
0 of 7 done- Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until foamy.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pan and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir, cooking for an additional two minutes to form a light roux.
- Pour in the chicken stock and add the thyme. Stir well, ensuring no lumps form. Return the chicken to the pan.
- Add the peeled and cubed potatoes, along with the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan on top.
