Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
4 stalks celery with some leaves, coarsely chopped
4 medium red potatoes - peeled, halved, and cubed

freshly ground black pepper
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Cook chicken thighs in batches just until skin starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Don't overcook; the meat should still be pink and raw on the inside. Set chicken aside in a bowl, reserving juices in the pan.
  • Saute onion and celery in the pan until turning translucent and browning at the edges, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add potatoes, rutabaga, turnips, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic to the onion-celery mixture. Sprinkle salt, herbes de Provence, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper on top. Stir and mix vegetables until coated.
  • Place 1/2 of the vegetable mixture in a slow cooker. Add 1/2 of the chicken. Layer remaining vegetables and chicken on top. Pour vegetable broth over the mixture in the slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low for 7 hours, gently stirring every few hours if desired.
  • Use tongs to remove chicken from the stew. Let cool. Separate skin and bones from the meat and shred meat. Stir meat back into the slow cooker.

RUTABAGA STEW



Rutabaga Stew image

My mom has been making the stew for many years and it is by far the BEST stew I have ever tasted. It is hearty, filling, and inexpensive not to mention extremely delicious and fairly easy to make. The hardest part and the most time-consuming part for this stew is preparing the vegetables. I chop and dice all my vegetables by hand and so it can consume a little bit more time, but it is very much worth the extra time it takes. Pork, beef, or venison are all good in this recipe, too.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams)
2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled parsnips
2 cups 1/2-inch pieces peeled turnips
1 cup 1/2-inch pieces peeled rutabaga
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup dried currants or raisins
1 cup drained canned diced tomatoes
Chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pot and sauté until light golden but not cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken to bowl.
  • Add onion to pot and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add curry powder, cumin and cinnamon stick and stir 30 seconds. Add sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, broth and currants. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add tomatoes and chicken with any accumulated juices to pot. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and flavors blend, about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the best rutabagas: Look for firm, smooth rutabagas with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller rutabagas tend to be sweeter and have a milder flavor.
  • Peel and dice the rutabagas: Use a sharp knife to peel the rutabagas, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  • Brown the chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the chicken pieces in olive oil until golden brown on all sides. This step adds flavor and helps to keep the chicken moist.
  • Add the vegetables: Once the chicken is browned, add the rutabagas, carrots, celery, and onion to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the seasonings: Stir in the garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, or until the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme. For a thicker stew, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the simmering stew and cook until thickened.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful rutabaga and chicken stew is a perfect meal for a cold winter night. The combination of sweet rutabagas, tender chicken, and savory spices creates a delicious and satisfying dish. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
