Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 1/2- to 4-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 1/2 lb russet (baking) potatoes
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
2 lb yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and covered with water in a bowl
3 ears corn, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
Accompaniments:
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons drained capers
3 California avocados, quartered, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat butter in a wide heavy 7- to 8-quart pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, skin side down first, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken as browned to a plate.
  • Add onion to pot along with oregano and remaining teaspoon each salt and pepper and sauté, stirring, until light golden, about 5 minutes. Peel and coarsely grate russet potatoes and add to pot with chicken, broth, and water. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a cutting board to cool. Drain cubed yellow potatoes and add to pot.
  • Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until cubed potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and simmer, covered, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes more. While corn is cooking, remove skin and bones from chicken and coarsely shred meat. Add meat to pot and heat through.
  • Serve stew with accompaniments in separate bowls.

I'm not a big fan of stews, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was very tender.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and filling, and the spices warm you up from the inside out.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth was very flavorful.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very budget-friendly meal.

Not a fan of this stew. The chicken was dry and the broth was too thin. I won't be making this again.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to it. But overall, it was a good stew.

I love this stew! It's so hearty and flavorful. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the corn and potatoes are cooked perfectly. The broth is also very flavorful, thanks to the addition of the cumin, oregano, and paprika.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and the results are always delicious. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit with my family.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the stew. The corn and potatoes were also cooked to perfection and the broth was delicious.

This stew was an absolute delight! The combination of chicken, corn, and potatoes was perfect, and the broth was flavorful and rich. I especially loved the addition of the bell peppers and tomatoes, which added a nice sweetness and depth of flavor.
