Boneless chicken thigh stew with boiled potatoes

Boneless chicken thigh stew with boiled potatoes simmers slowly in a wine and vegetable sauce, while the potatoes are served separately with butter. The sauce has pieces of onion, pepper and tomato, and the potatoes are soft in the middle, with fresh parsley on top. I cut the thighs into pieces about 4 cm across, easy to pick up with a fork. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cook time: 61 minutes. Total time: 81 minutes. Serves: 4. About 730 kcal and 44 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
For the stew
- 800 g boneless chicken thighs
- 50 ml oil
- 2 large onions (300 g)
- 1 large red pepper (180 g)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 100 ml white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 500 ml water
- 1 large tomato (180 g)
- 15 g parsley leaves
For the potatoes
- 600 g potatoes
- 1500 ml water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove (optional)
- 10 g butter
Preparation
1. Cut the thighs into pieces about 4 cm across and pat them dry with paper towels. Peel the onion and pepper and chop them. Set aside 500 ml of water for the tomato and measure out 1500 ml separately for the potatoes. 2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and pepper for 5 minutes, until softened. 3. Add the paprika and thighs, then cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until the outside of the meat changes color. 4. Pour in the wine, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, blanch the tomato for 1 minute in 500 ml of boiling water, peel it and dice it. 5. Add the tomato to the saucepan and simmer the stew for another 10 minutes, until the thighs are tender. Sprinkle with 10 g chopped parsley. 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. Put them on to boil in 1500 ml of water with 1 teaspoon of salt and the garlic clove, if using. Boil for 20 minutes, until tender, then drain and toss with the butter and 5 g chopped parsley.
Notes
Serve the stew with a pickle salad. Boneless thighs can vary in thickness, so choose pieces that are similar in size; thicker ones may need a few extra minutes over low heat. If the sauce seems too greasy, spoon a little of the fat off the surface before serving. I put the stew on about an hour before the meal, since the potatoes cook separately too. The wine goes in before simmering and cooks with the chicken; for an alcohol-free version, replace the 100 ml of wine with 100 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. The whole garlic clove boiled with the potatoes is optional. The stew keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in a closed container. This dish contains dairy; for dairy-free potatoes, use 10 ml olive oil instead of the 10 g butter.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make the stew with bone-in thighs?
Yes, keep the amount of meat at 800 g and simmer it for about 35 minutes, until the meat comes away easily from the bone. Add the tomato for the last 10 minutes.
What should I do if the sauce is too thin?
Simmer it uncovered for another 6-8 minutes, until it thickens a little. Stir from time to time so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
Can I replace the fresh tomato with canned tomatoes?
Yes, use 180 g well-drained canned chopped tomatoes and add them for the last 10 minutes of simmering.
Why did the potatoes fall apart?
Floury potatoes break up more easily as they boil. Choose potatoes with firm flesh and start checking them after 15 minutes.
