Tomato Basil Chicken Stew
Nov 16, 2025 02:16 PM
I could happily eat tomato soup any day of the year. But when I’m craving something a little heartier (with more protein!), this one-pot tomato basil chicken stew is such a winner.
It’s loaded up with tender chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots all simmered together in a rich, thick and creamy tomato-basil broth. We love serving it with a loaf of crusty bread for dipping, but it would also be delicious served over egg noodles, rice or your favorite grains. Whatever sounds good!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 8 ounces baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- freshly-grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)
