The vegetables will release more liquid as they cook, so don't overfill.

Cook the stew: Cover the pot with a lid and bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 40-50 minutes.
