Method 

1. Before you start any of the cooking, season the chicken with salt & pepper to taste (no one likes bland chicken). 

2. Heat the oil in a dutch oven, over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

3. Add the carrots and onions to the dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to soften, which is usually about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring nonstop. Add the celery and 1/2 cup of chicken stock while stirring and scraping to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the dutch oven.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup of stock before adding it to the dutch oven. Stir in the chicken and remaining 4 cups of chicken stock. Add the bay leaf and season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, partially covered.

5. Add the potatoes and cook uncovered until they are tender, about 20 minutes. The liquid will slightly reduce even further. Stir in parsley and discard bay leaf before serving.

6. Serve immediately because we know you're hungry.
