  1-Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

• 2-In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.

• 3-If using wine, pour it into the pot and let it reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

• 4-Add the chicken back into the pot along with the potatoes, bell pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Cover with chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes with the lid on.

• 5-To thicken the stew, create a slurry by mixing the flour with a bit of water and then stir into the pot. Let the stew simmer for another 10 minutes or until thickened to your liking.

• 6-Check for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, remove the bay leaf.

• 7-Serve the stew in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
