Instructions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs in the hot oil, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove chicken and add butter, letting it melt without burning. Add carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms soften and onion becomes translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir flour into the mixture to create a roux with the butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously. Add the chicken back in, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the chicken can be easily shredded, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot in a bowl or on a plate.
