Wash and clean the thigh chicken legs (or drumsticks) thoroughly and remove the skin if you wish. (We recommend that you separate the skins after cooking, since we will not put oil in our boiling) Take a deep saucepan, add five or six glasses of water, put it on a high fire and pre-boil for about 15 minutes.
Peel the potatoes, carrots and celery and cut them into large cubes. Peel the ginger and finely chop it. Peel the onion and cut it into four. Add all the vegetables to the boiling chicken, add the bay leaf, salt and pepper and cook on medium heat until soft.
Remove from the heat and serve hot with freshly ground black pepper, finely chopped parsley and lemon juice. Enjoy your meal!
Note: You can serve this delicious stew with white rice pilaf.

Chicken thigh offers high-quality protein for muscle development. With B6 and B12 vitamins, it supports energy metabolism and contributes to nervous system health. While containing less saturated fat than red meat, it strengthens immunity with iron and zinc. Its collagen content is particularly beneficial for skin and joint health. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and herbs such as thyme and garlic.
Ginger:
Ginger is a versatile root plant known for its pungent aroma and warming effect. It effectively aids digestion, alleviating nausea and indigestion. Thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory properties, it helps with joint pain and muscle fatigue, while boosting the immune system to increase resistance against colds. It also has a circulation-enhancing effect. It pairs perfectly with ingredients like lemon, honey, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Potatoes:
Potatoes are a rich source of complex carbohydrates providing energy, Vitamin C, and potassium. Their fiber content contributes to digestive health and provides a feeling of satiety. Potassium, vital for regulating blood pressure, makes them important for overall body functions. They pair well with meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, and many vegetables, suitable for various cooking methods like baking, boiling, frying, and mashing.
Celery:
Celery, low in calories, excels with its high fiber content supporting digestive health. It's rich in potassium, vitamin K, and folate. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds contribute to cellular health and may help balance blood pressure. With its fresh, mild flavor, it pairs perfectly with apples, carrots, yogurt dips, chicken, and fish. It also adds a refreshing touch to soups and salads.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Garlic:
Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Bay Leaf:
Bay Leaf is a potent spice that can aid digestion, helping to reduce gas and bloating. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it contributes to overall well-being. It's widely used in soups, stews, meat dishes, and legumes to add aromatic depth. It pairs exceptionally well with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. While enhancing the dish's flavor, it leaves subtle bitter and woody notes.
Black Pepper:
Black pepper, a kitchen staple, offers not just flavor but also significant health benefits. Thanks to piperine, its active compound, it boasts powerful antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals. It can stimulate the digestive system, enhancing nutrient absorption and notably increasing the bioavailability of curcumin found in turmeric. Additionally, it's effective in reducing gas and bloating. It also has a mild metabolism-boosting effect. With a wide range of uses from red meats to poultry, vegetable dishes to soups, it pairs excellently. It harmonizes perfectly with spices like cumin and coriander, as well as ingredients like lemon and garlic, adding depth to dishes.
Parsley:
Parsley is a powerful antioxidant source that supports bone health and plays a crucial role in blood clotting due to its Vitamin K content. Its Vitamin C content strengthens immunity. Rich in flavonoids like apigenin, it can help reduce inflammation. It is also a natural diuretic. It pairs perfectly with lemon, garlic, and olive oil; adding a refreshing flavor to fish, chicken, soups, and salads.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect.
