The chicken in this stew was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices.

I accidentally added too much salt to this stew. It was still edible, but I would recommend being careful with the seasoning.

I served this stew over egg noodles and it was delicious! I also added a side of crusty bread to soak up all the yummy sauce.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this stew and it turned out great. The chicken was still very tender and juicy.
