Southern Stewed Chicken is pure comfort food with tender chicken, hearty potatoes and Cajun seasoning stewed together in a savory broth!

Southern Stewed Chicken

chicken thighs (boneless/skinless)

avocado oil

unsalted butter

onion (diced)

celery

green pepper (chopped)

flour

chicken stock

Cajun seasoning

bay leaf

black pepper

russet potato (peeled and chopped in 1/2-1" cubes)

white rice (optional

Heat the avocado oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown about 2-3 minutes per side. (You&#39;ll need to do this in 2 batches).

Remove the chicken and set aside.

With the heat still on medium, add the butter and let it melt. Then add the onion, green pepper and celery and cook about 2-3 minutes, until it starts to soften.

Sprinkle in the flour and mix to coat the vegetables well.

Slowly stir in the broth, whisking constantly. If you add it too fast without stirring, it can become clumpy.

Add the Cajun seasoning, black pepper, bay leaf and chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 50 minutes.

Stir in the potato cubes and cook an additional 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender all the way through.

Add salt to taste, if desired. Serve over rice or pasta, or enjoy with crusty bread.

Tablespoons thyme (oregano or basil (Fresh

Tablespoon smoked paprika

Rinse chicken with water, inside and out, then pat dry with paper towels.

Rub inside and out chicken with salt, white pepper and bouillon powder and set aside.

In a small pan set over medium low heat, combine oil or butter minced garlic, herbs, paprika, onion, and cayenne pepper. Add enough to make so there is enough for basting.

Stir for about 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Let this mixture sit for a little bit about 5 minutes.

Generously rub the chicken with spice combination, then refrigerate until ready to cook.

Preheat oven to 375 F. (190 C).

Add onions a roasting pan or cast iron, and then place the chicken, breast-side up. Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen twine to help hold its shape. Toss the potatoes around the chicken. If desired sprinkle with about a Tablespoon or more of onion powder.

Roast in 375 degrees F oven about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reaches about 170 degrees F, brushing Cajun mixture every 30 minutes and potatoes. Remove from oven; let chicken stand 10 minutes before carving. So the juices settle back into the meat. Serve with the roasted potatoes and a side salad
