Hawaiian Ginger Chicken Stew Recipes

HAWAIIAN GINGER-CHICKEN STEW FOR TWO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until juices run clear, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using tongs.
• Add garlic and ginger to the pan and cook until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add sherry; cook, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and water, increase heat to high, and boil for 5 minutes. Mix in soy sauce and chile sauce. Add mustard greens, reduce heat, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

GINGERY CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and cook, turning the pieces as they release easily from the pan, until they're well browned on both sides, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot.
• Add the onion, daikon and ginger to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the stock, soy sauce, lime juice and star anise and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the chicken and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily.
• Cook the chicken, covered, until very tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the squash. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding enough stock to keep it from sticking, until the squash is tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. If you like, remove the chicken thighs, cut the meat from the bones and return it to the pot. Fish out and discard the star anise. Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve.
