Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch Oven over a medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to your taste.. Brown 4-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; reserve the pot.

Add the celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, thyme and garlic to the drippings in the pot and cook , stirring until veggies begin to soften, 3-5 minutes. Add the chicken, bay leave and 6 cups of water. I added 2 Tbs. of Chicken Boullion to the water. Bring it to a simmer and cook until the job Clem is done about 10-15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and transfer the chicken once again to a plate. Let cool. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and return back to the pot.

Whisk together 1/2 cup of the flour, 2 Cups of the liquid from the pot and 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk the flour mixture back into the pot and simmer until slightly thickened. 3-5 minutes.
