Add the chicken back into the pot. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for ⏱️ 40-50 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

If you find your broth to be too watery you can make a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water. Add it to the stew, then bring the stew to a boil for ⏱️ 1 minute while continuously stirring.
8
Take the stew off the heat, sample it, and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
