Description

This smoky chicken thigh stew is a flavor explosion! The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce give it a wonderful smoky heat, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tomatoes. I've been making this for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser, especially during the colder months. It's hearty, comforting, and surprisingly easy to make with the Thermomix®. Serve it with some fresh cilantro and crumbled cheese for a truly satisfying meal. This stew is also great for meal prepping – it tastes even better the next day!

Ingredients (13 ingredients)

3 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
4 cup chicken stock
1 cup water
1 piece large yellow onion, halved
3 clove peeled whole garlic cloves
2 tsp kosher salt
0.5 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp olive oil
1 piece large onion, diced
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (7 ounce)
1 can peeled plum tomatoes (28 ounce)
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp crumbled cheese

Preparation (8 steps)

Prepare Chicken and Broth Ingredients

Place 3 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, 4 cups of chicken stock, 1 cup of water, 1 large yellow onion (halved), 3 peeled whole garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon of dried oregano into a large pot. Bring to a simmer over high heat; reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat. This step is done outside of the Thermomix to properly simmer the chicken.

Separate Chicken and Onions

Transfer onion halves to a bowl with a slotted spoon; transfer chicken thighs to a separate bowl. Pour broth through a strainer into a large bowl. This step is done outside of the Thermomix.
