Chicken Mushroom Stew image

The Chicken Mushroom Stew has a light, fresh taste from the celery, with an earthy undertone from the mushrooms. I used white button mushrooms, but you could play with the flavors by using different varieties such as cremini or portobello. Serve in bowls. A nice crusty bread to mop up the liquid makes it all just perfect!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon butter
1 leek, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 small onion, diced
3 spring onions, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 carrot, thickly sliced
2 stalks celery, strings peeled, finely diced
1 (16 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, quartered
½ cup white wine
2 cups chicken stock
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh parsley
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken until lightly browned but still pink inside, about 5 minutes. Set chicken aside. Reduce heat to medium, and melt the butter in the same pot; cook and stir the leek and onion just until starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir in the carrot and celery. Cook the vegetables for 1 or 2 more minutes, and stir in the mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the juice begins to dry up, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine, and scrape pot to loosen and dissolve the brown flavor bits left in the bottom. Stir in the stock, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Knot a short piece of kitchen twine tightly around the sprigs of thyme, rosemary, tarragon, oregano, parsley, and bay leaves to make a tidy package, and place the herb bouquet into the pot.
  • Mix in the chicken pieces, cover the pot, and allow to simmer very gently until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Do not boil. For a thicker stew, whisk flour with water in a small bowl, and whisk into the simmering sauce; allow to thicken, about 3 minutes. Remove herb bundle before serving in bowls.

The stew was good, but it was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as broth or water, to thin it out.

This stew was too watery for my taste. I think I added too much liquid. I would recommend adding the liquid gradually and tasting the stew as you go.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I would also recommend using a variety of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, to add more flavor.
