This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to it to make it more flavorful.

This stew was easy to make and very flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. I served it with some mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great! The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I love serving this stew with some crusty bread or rice.

This Catalan chicken stew was a hit with my family! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I served it with some crusty bread to sop up all the delicious sauce. Will definitely be making this again!
