Start by washing and chopping your vegetables. Dice the carrots and potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and aromatic.

Next, add the chicken pieces to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned.

Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot, then sprinkle in the thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to coat the veggies and chicken in the spices.

Gradually pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot. Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Give it a good stir before serving.
