Reviews
Absolutely love this stew. It is really good. My girlfriends loved it. Thank you for a great dinner.
Loved this! Just the right spices – delicious way to get a good serving of vegetables.
Easy and good. I would use a half the turmeric. A teaspoon makes the dish I made a little over the top . In all easy and quick.
Delicious!! Changes I made: I added potatoes, 1 whole container of chicken broth and 3 cups of milk. I omitted the peas for personal taste. I added pieces of a rotisserie chicken to save time. Definitely a keeper!
Loved this! Made a few changes: browned whole chicken thighs, then added the onion, celery, thyme, carrots, blk pepper & a couple of bay leaves and 2 small potatoes(my addition), so that the chicken, veg & spices sauteed together. Fished the thighs out and deboned, snipped with scissors and put it back in and then thickened and finished it. Depth of flavor is great, but I noticed that when I added the milk/flour to thicken, it diminished the taste, so next time I will add more chicken stock and then thicken that with cornstarch.
My family and I loved this recipe. I used bay leaves instead of turmeric because I did not have any.
I made it and Loved it. The Leftover was even better the next day. I have wanted a good recipe for Chicken Stew nad have found it. I will most DEFINITELY be making this again and again..
Hubby loved it too!
