This Hearty Chicken-Vegetable Stew will warm your soul on a cold winter’s day.  

A few weeks ago, just about everyone I knew seemed to be sick.  My husband and my mother-in-law were in competition to see who could feel the worse.  I told them that I was going to come up with a new recipe that would cure all of their ailments.  It took a trip to the doctor for both of them to accomplish that, but this Hearty Chicken–Vegetable Stew was something they enjoyed eating.

HOW TO MAKE HEARTY CHICKEN-VEGETABLE STEW

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 4 cups chicken tenderloins (or skinless breast) cut in bite size cubes
• 2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 3-4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup potatoes, peeled and cut in bite size cubes
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1 can (15.5oz) white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

I started by cutting some boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins into bite sized cubes.  Heat olive oil and butter in a large dutch oven, over a medium heat. When butter is melted, add the chicken. Season with a third of the salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Sprinkle some flour over chicken to make a thickening.  Gradually stir in chicken broth. Begin with 3 cups and add more later if too thick.

Season the celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes with one third of the seasonings. Stir into the chicken broth, and bring to a low boil. Reduce to low simmer and cook. uncovered, about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently. If broth is too thick, add remaining cup of broth.

Simmer until all veggies are tender.

Stir in frozen peas and a can of white cannellini beans. Check seasonings and add remaining salt, pepper and garlic salt if needed. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

I made the stew a few hours earlier than we needed it to allow the flavors to blend.  Heat over a low heat, stirring frequently prior to serving.

This is a thick, hearty stew and a great addition to  your wintertime  menus.  Serve with warm biscuits or crusty bread.
