Hearty Chicken Stew Recipes

HEARTY CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine onions, garlic, carrots, chicken and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Add cold water to cover. Bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Skim and discard any scum that may come to the top.
• Simmer until the meat of the chicken falls off the bone with almost no pressure from a fork, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Use 2 forks to separate the meat from the bone. Add the meat back to pot.
• Add the potatoes, cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Add green beans, cook until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, add hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium to medium-high heat. Saute onion, carrots, and celery until they begin to become tender and caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Season vegetables with a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper while cooking.
• Stir in butter to melt; stir flour into the veggies and butter until evenly distributed and veggies are coated. Pour in broth and milk, stirring until well combined. Turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add thyme, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Stir in peas and corn. Stir in chicken to combine and allow to simmer, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
