CROCK POT CHICKEN (OR BEEF OR PORK) GREEN CHILE STEW



Crock Pot Chicken (Or Beef or Pork) Green Chile Stew image

I have not made this recipe yet, but it is tried and true by a friend of mine, on another board, Marsha Tbay, a very reliable source. What I like about this recipe is that it is so versatile, you can use chicken, beef or pork to vary it. Personally, I would brown the meat first in a little oil then continue with the recipe. The 8-10 hours is the time it is cooking in the crock pot.

ANSON COUNTY CHICKEN STEW (CROCK POT)



Anson County Chicken Stew (Crock Pot) image

I have just divulged my own county's, my grandmother's, and my mother's most coveted soup recipe. (Lord, help me!) My most wonderful food memories stem from this soup. When I was a little girl, family and friends would gather at my parents house, bringing proportionately larger amounts of the listed ingredients (alas, usually fresh ingredients). Everyone would gather outside around the old iron washpot over a wood fire and prepare this stew with the ingredients they had brought. My mom and dad cooked the stew for hours as everyone visited. The results? Simply perfection. Nothing has ever tasted better to me on a cold Winter day.

CROCK POT CHICKEN STEW RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Crock Pot Chicken Stew Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Daventry

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Chicken Breasts, cut into small cubes
1/4 Cup Butter
6 Tbsp Flour
1 Cup Milk
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1/4 tsp Rosemary
1/4 tsp Savory
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Marjoram
1 Cup Carrots
1 Cup Peas
1 Cup Corn Niblets
1 Cup Potatoes, cubed and partially cooked

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low/medium for three hours. If I don't have time to pre-boil potatoes and cube, I just don't use them in the recipe. Stir ever half hour. This goes great with my garlic cheese buttermilk biscuits.

Tips:

  • For a thicker stew, use a combination of cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the stew until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • To add a bit of tanginess, use a cup of white wine instead of chicken broth. If you choose to use wine, omit the lemon juice.
  • For a more flavorful stew, brown the chicken pieces in a skillet before adding them to the crock pot. This will create a richer, more caramelized flavor.
  • Add a teaspoon of dried thyme or oregano to the stew for an extra layer of flavor.
  • If you like your stew a little spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
