Method
1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and set aside.
2
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced celery, and sliced carrots. Sauté these vegetables for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften, stirring frequently.
3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, coating the vegetables well. Add the paprika, pepper, rubbed sage, and dried thyme, stirring to combine.
4
Pour in the fat-free chicken broth and return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the cubed potatoes and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 to 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with a little cold water to form a smooth slurry. Stir this mixture into the simmering stew to thicken.
7
Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew reaches the desired thickness and all flavors are well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
