In addition to chicken and potatoes, the stew also contains carrots, onions, mushrooms, mixed vegetables, and a few herbs and spices. Simply adjust the salt level when using chicken broth in place of chicken stock.

A big hit! The stew is delicious. I added a dash of pepper and used the frozen veggies I had on hand rather than a bag of mixed vegetables. I opted to cook the chicken and potatoes with the stew rather than using pre-cooked and it worked out fine; just adjusted the cooking time accordingly. I think this is a very flexible recipe that is easily adapted to suit personal preferences. This recipe is a keeper!
This soup is so tasty! Made it for my family today and will definitely make this one again and again. Thank you!
Delicious and simple, and you can do all sorts of variations depending on the vegetables you have on hand.
My husband loved it. I didn’t use mushrooms and substituted ingredients for whatever I didn’t have on hand. For example, I used fro,en peas in place of mixed veggies.
Here is how I made it!! I cut a very large chicken breast into 3/4″ cubes. Seasoned well with salt and black pepper. Put 1/2 cup of flour in a bag and added chicken. Shake well. Put a little oil (1/4 cup or less) in bottom of a large pot. Heated oil and added all the chicken and any flour left. Browned chicken being careful not to burn and residue on bottom of pot. I removed chicken and added one large chopped onion chopped and 2 stalks of chopped celery and three cloves of finely chopped garlic. Added 2T of butter and sautéed vegetables for a few minutes and then added chicken broth to make sure nothing burned. I added a one pound bag of baby carrots and cooked for about 20 minutes, then added the chicken back. Continued cooking and added a total of two cans of chicken broth as stew thickened. Added more water as needed and more salt and pepper. After about 20 more minutes, I added three red potatoes that were cubed in 3/4″ pieces. Cooked until potatoes were tender, stirring often to make sure nothing stuck to the bottom of the pot. It kept thickening up and I had to occasionally add more water. Really good.
Yes, I made changes please don’t yell. I used thigh meat, a favorite, and thickened as advised but with V8 juice, butter and flour. I sauted onion, mushrooms, celery and garlic before adding favorite veges with some red pepper flakes. Always read the reviews and I realize the changes change the recipe but I feel they are very helpful. Btw, the stew was a big hit.
This was the best stew ever
I replaced the chicken stock with 2 cups low sodium tomato sauce , 2 cups water and 1 can petite diced tomatoes. I added 6 whole cloves, a bay leaf to the seasoning with a little more parsley, and turnip in with the veggies. I added water as it cooked down. Slow cooked for 4 hours.
This stew is delicious and loved by even my pickiest eater. I don’t use mushrooms but have substituted more of the other veggies and even throw in some frozen edamame from time to time. Very quick if you have leftover chicken. I usually just grill more earlier in the week when I know I’m going to make this. Great leftover too!
I made this stew and added a couple of personal touches to suit our taste. I used some potatoes, but not a lot. I didn’t have any frozen veggies so I used canned mixed veggies. I didn’t use mushrooms because my hubby doesn’t like them. I didn’t have oregano so I used Italian seasoning. In place of using a lot of potatoes towards the end I added some frozen flat dumplings. Let me just say it was a complete hit. This is now going to be a favorite winter stew. I had family over a couple days later and served the leftovers. The compliments that followed were great.
Really good! I didn’t add the mushrooms or flour (i like broth). I did add in more celery and potatoes, a can of carrots, and a can of lima beans. Did I say this was really good!!!
I found it bland, lacking in flavor. I haven’t yet experimented to see how to give it some taste, but worth trying.
Boiled 2 chicken breasts. Sauteed carrots, potatoes and celery in scant 1/4c olive oil. Stirred in 1/2c flour and 6c broth. Added chicken, two fresh seeded tomatoes, green beans, 1c rice, 2tsp. basil/oregano/tomato seasoning and 1tsp. herbes de provence. Add salt to taste. Cover and simmer 20″
I will defiantly make this again. Next time I will be putting dumplings in it and adding more stock! All around delicious.
I loved it!!!
Peruvian chicken stew 😉
Peruvian chicken stew 😉
this was my first meal that i’ve made, and it was an easy start. i used chicken broth in lieu of stock, and I served it over wild rice. deeeeeelish!
Super delicious, hearty comfort food. Perfect for the longest winter in history! Easy to prepare.
Super delicious, and super easy. My husband ate 4 bowls of this and my 5&6 year old kept asking for more. The only different thing I did was use 2tbsp of vegeta instead of chicken broth, its a spice I was raised with in the Balkans and we use for everything. Typing this as I’m cooking the soup again. Thanks for this great recipe !!
I made this recipe to the letter, it is delicious. I have also made variations as we’ll and they’re really good.
