My habits are all fine, but when dinner rolls around, Im ready for a break.
Thats how I came up with this 6-ingredient chicken stew.
Thats not a coincidencechicken seems to be about the only protein my family will eat.

Its why I perpetually feel like Im on an episode ofChoppedwhere the box always has chicken in it.
Sara, just find new and delicious ways to use THIS, I hear in my head.
This incredibly easy chicken stew was born.
Then I seared a couple of chicken breasts in a hot Dutch oven before cooking the veggies.
I added a bit of flour before adding water,chicken base, and the chicken.
My family loved it, and now I make this chicken stew often during the cold winter months.
Pat the chicken skin dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Scrape the bottom of the pot as you go.
Add the chicken back to the pot along with any juices and the remaining 5 cups of water.
Add the thyme, if using.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and add the sweet potatoes.
Simple Tip!
A thermometer inserted in the thickest part should reach 165F.
Remove from the heat and transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
Cover the pot with a lid to keep it warm.
Remove the chicken skin and shred the chicken.
Remove the thyme stems (if using) and add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Taste, adding salt and pepper as needed, and serve.
