Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 medium white onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig rosemary
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups celery sticks, medium diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (32-ounce) box low-sodium chicken stock (or homemade)
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Flat-leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear until brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a chopping board and cut the thighs into halves. Set aside.
To the same pot, still over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent and soft, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, add the thyme and rosemary, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes.
Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, until all the vegetables are coated and the raw taste has cooked off. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, stirring to break up any lumps of flour.
Add the chicken potatoes, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken and potatoes are fully cooked and the liquid has slightly thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Discard thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Helpful tips:

How to Melt Chocolate

Place chocolate in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2-1/2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted, stirring every 30 sec.

How to Easily Dip Cookie Balls

To easily coat cookie balls with the melted chocolate, add balls, in batches, to bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place balls on prepared baking sheet; let stand until chocolate coating is firm.
