Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon no-salt added poultry seasoning
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups frozen vegetable blend (carrots, green beans, peas, corn)
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder*
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden on one side, flip, and cook 3-4 more minutes. Remove the chicken onto a plate or bowl and set aside.
- Add the onion, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, and add the garlic, and poultry seasoning. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the chicken, chicken stock, cream or coconut milk, vegetables, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring to combine. Cover, bring to a boil, then uncover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender and the chicken is cooked, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully ladle a few tablespoons of the broth into a bowl. Add the arrowroot, whisking until completely smooth. Add the arrowroot mixture back to the pot, stirring to combine. Simmer 1-2 more minutes, until it begins to thicken.
- Taste, adding additional salt if desired.
Notes
- Arrowroot is a thickener similar to cornstarch. If you don’t have it or don’t want to use it, cornstarch can be used in its place.
