I’ve never tasted chicken stew like my mother’s recipe! bursting with flavor—chili, tomato, and chicken—! fantastic on a winter day with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cups water, or as needed to cover
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed, or more to taste
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 small white onion, chopped, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans cream-style corn
Instructions
- Arrange chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken to a plate to cool; leave cooking liquid in the pot. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard chicken skin and bones. Shred meat and set aside.
- Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, onion, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add corn and shredded chicken to stew. Cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- I use 2 separate pots to cook the chicken but one large pot works fine; it’s a preference thing.
- I buy the 9.25 ounce chili powder and use almost half of it (almost an entire bottle if you buy the smaller one), but I taste it along the way, so I suggest you do the same. I add up to 1 tablespoon each of salt and pepper, again to however you want it to taste. I recommend you go easy and add more after adding the corn.
