Best 7 Kitchen Sink Chicken Stew Recipes

ONE-POT CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Pat dry the chicken with a few sheets of paper towel and season thoroughly with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottom dutch oven or a soup pot over high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes total. The goal here is to simply brown the chicken on the outside and extract some of its flavor. Make sure to use high heat, otherwise, the chicken will steam out and not brown. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to a medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add carrots and onions. Cook, stirring often until onions begin to soften and tips turn golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, while stirring nonstop. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth while stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from the bottom of the dutch oven.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup broth; add to the dutch oven. Stir in chicken and remaining 4 cups of chicken broth. Add bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes, partially covered.
• Add potatoes and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 18-20 minutes. If needed, increase the heat so the stew is at a gentle simmer. Also taste the broth for salt and pepper and add more if needed. Stir in parsley and discard bay leaf before serving.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken, working in batches and adding more oil as needed, 3 to 5 minutes per batch; set aside.
• Add the celery and onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over the flour and stir, cooking a minute or so. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper and add the parsnips, carrots, turnip and rutabaga. Add the chicken back, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in the heavy cream and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with parsley leaves.

KITCHEN-SINK CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chicken until brown on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to pot; cook until onion softens, 3 minutes. Add potato and collard greens; cook until greens begin to wilt, 3 minutes.
• Return chicken to pot; add vegetable juice and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil; reduce to a medium simmer, partially cover, and cook until chicken is separating from the bone and vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in vinegar just before serving.

GRANDMA'S KITCHEN SINK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the water and/or broth, the Parmesan rind and the corn cob (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the corn kernels, zucchini and green beans and cook until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have developed, about 10 minutes more. Discard the cheese rind and corn cob. Add the rice and cook for another 2 minutes, then stir in the greens. Once they begin to wilt, turn off the heat. Check for seasoning and, if necessary, add more salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan and/or a squeeze of lemon juice.
