Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, halved
4 small skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
4 whole peeled canned tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 medium Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups water

Directions

In a heavy bottomed 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until very dark, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken pieces, ginger, 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the chicken is brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and break up with a wooden spoon. Add the thyme, 2 tablespoons of parsley, carrots, potatoes, and hot water. Cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 40 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the remaining parsley.

Better than expected!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow, it tasted great! I thought it might be boring, but the broth was so flavorful! I had to cook it 25 minutes longer than... the recipe stated to get the potatoes soft, but it was well worth the wait!Read more

Make it yours!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this dish. I read the reviews first so I knew that the chicken should be seasoned before cooking. So what I did to... season the chicken was use smoky sweet paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. I loved the sweet and spicy of the stew!! Read more

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely loved this dish. It was simple to make, and the flavor was amazing. I took the advice of some of the comments... and marinated the chicken for two hours with garlic, ginger, coriander, soy sauce, and S&P. I also halved the recipe, only using one breast and one leg/thigh. Due to the halving, I only cooked the dish for about 25 minutes, and it was perfectly done and moist. The potatoes and carrots were also perfectly done. But best of all, the sauce that dish creates was amazing. I don't understand the others who say that it was bland, as I thought the sauce gave the entire dish so much flavor that I wanted to eat the entire pot! I will absolutely make this dish again.Read more
