Helpful Tips:
For leftovers, place the stew in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I have never frozen this, but I see other recipes that say it tastes great after freezing.  Place in a large container or single-serving portions for up to 3 months.
This chicken stew will taste so much better if you are able to make it a few hours earlier than you need it, or even the day before. The flavors blend together better.
