Sauté the aromatics

- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides.
- Ensure the chicken is mostly opaque before adding liquids.
Simmer the stew until tender
- Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes.
- Add the water, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt.
- Cover and simmer for 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
