Chicken Drumstick Stew Recipe

American · Main course · 65 min total

A hearty and comforting one-pot stew featuring tender chicken drumsticks simmered in a rich, savory broth with vegetables. Perfect for a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Season drumsticks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown drumsticks in batches, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
3. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring. Add thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Return drumsticks to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Stir in frozen peas and cook for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Tips

• For a thicker stew, mash some of the vegetables against the pot before adding peas.
• Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
