01
Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the celery, chopped onion, and bell pepper, and cook them gently until they soften up, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until you can really smell that lovely aroma.

Step 2
Next, pour in the vegetable broth and add the tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, pearl onions, thyme, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the veggies are tender, which should take around 20 minutes.

Step 3
Once the vegetables are ready, stir in the chicken along with some red pepper flakes for a little kick. Let it cook until the chicken is heated through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Right before serving, splash in a bit of vinegar to brighten up all those flavors. Give it a final stir and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is full of rich, warm flavors that come from a blend of fragrant spices and tender chicken. The pearl onions add a subtle sweetness that balances the savory elements perfectly. It’s a comforting meal that feels both exotic and familiar.
How to serve
Serve this stew over fluffy couscous or warm flatbread to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette pairs nicely and adds freshness to the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Let the stew cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and freezes nicely for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove to preserve the texture of the chicken.
