Cooking Steps

Incorporate sliced carrots and cubed potatoes, stirring well. Pour in chicken broth and water, then add tomato paste. Season with dried thyme and rosemary, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a rolling boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing the stew to simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Uncover and stir in shredded chicken and peas. Let simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Ladle servings into bowls and optionally garnish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve hot.
