CHICKEN STEW

Recipe video above. Slow cooked chicken with ultra tender flesh and outrageous crispy skin smothered in a gravy-like sauce that's lip smackingly delicious. Carrots, celery, onion and potato make this a filling meal so you won't need a side - except perhaps some crusty bread to dunk in the sauce! Make this in a large oven proof pot, or see notes if you don't have one.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 kg / 3lb bone in, skin on chicken thighs and drumsticks ((6 to 8 pieces))
Salt and pepper
2 onions (, halved and cut into wedges)
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
3 large carrots (, cut thick end into 1.5cm / 3/5" pieces, thin end 2.5cm/1")
4 celery stalks (, cut into 2cm / 4/5" chunks)
1/2 cup (125 ml) white wine ((or water))
3 tbsp (35g) flour
3 cups (750 ml) chicken broth (, low low sodium)
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp Worscestershire sauce
3 sprigs thyme (, or 1 tsp dried thyme (or other herb))
2 bay leaves ((dried or fresh))
600 g / 1.2lb baby potatoes (, halved (quarter large ones))
Fresh thyme or parsley ((chopped))
Warm crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Brown chicken on both sides until light golden, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Remove from pot. (Do in 2 batches if pot not big enough).
  • If there's too much oil in the pot, discard some. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
  • Add carrots and celery, cook for 1 minute.
  • Add wine. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the brown bits into the liquid. Cook for 1 minute until liquid is mostly gone.
  • Sprinkle flour across surface, stir.
  • Add broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and bay leaves. Stir to dissolve tomato paste.
  • Place chicken on top, keeping the skin above the liquid level as much as you can.
  • Bring to simmer then cover. Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, remove lid. Add potatoes, pushing them into the liquid and rearranging chicken so they sit on top (for lovely crispy skin).
  • Return to oven without the lid for a further 40 minutes until the chicken skin is deep golden and super crispy, the potatoes are soft and the sauce is thickened.
  • Taste sauce and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with warm crusty bread on the side to dunk in the sauce - or go all the way with Garlic Bread! Optional: garnish with extra fresh thyme leaves or parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs ((8 thighs) )
Kosher salt and black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 carrots (chopped)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 zucchini (small diced)
1 potato (small diced)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp dry oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 28 can whole San Marzano tomatoes, ((or any quality canned whole tomatoes you like) )
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season on both sides with Kosher salt and black pepper.
  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and brown on both sides (about 6 to 8 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate for now.
  • In the same Dutch oven, add the onions, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini and potatoes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Add the spices. Toss to combine and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the veggies have softened some, about 7 to 8 minutes (I like to let them gain a little char too).
  • Add the tomatoes and break them up with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth and the thyme springs. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Add the chicken back and cook on high heat for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-low and cover the Dutch oven part-way. Let the chicken stew simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off. Remove the thyme sprigs. Stir in white wine vinegar and fresh parsley and serve

Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: For the most flavorful stew, use a whole chicken, cut into pieces, or a combination of dark and white meat. Bone-in, skin-on chicken will yield a richer broth.
  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew will add depth of flavor and color. Do this in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add, the more nutritious and flavorful your stew will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, parsnips, and turnips.
  • Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your stew. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Simmer for a long time: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the chicken and vegetables will become and the more the flavors will meld together. Aim for at least 1 hour of simmering time, or longer if you have the time.
  • Serve with crusty bread or rice: A hearty stew is perfect for serving with crusty bread or rice, which can be used to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Harvested chicken stew is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have some leftover chicken, don't throw it away! Make a pot of harvested chicken stew instead.
