Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch each. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper, and then dredge them in flour, ensuring they are well-coated.

2. Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is hot and bubbling, add the floured chicken pieces. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. Cook the Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to begin to soften slightly.

5. Thicken the Stew: Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of flour over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

6. Add the Broth: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.

7. Simmer the Stew: Cover the skillet and let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

8. Finish with Peas: About 5 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. Continue cooking until the peas are heated through and the stew is piping hot.

9. Serve: Once the stew is ready, serve it hot directly from the skillet. Pair it with a slice of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious broth.

Enjoy this hearty and satisfying Chicken Stew in a Skillet as a delightful meal for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, savory vegetables, and flavorful broth makes it a true comfort food classic. 🍲🍞
