Description

A traditional stew recipe featuring chicken, vegetables, and a savory tomato base.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup lima beans (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Return chicken to the pot.
  5. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Stir in corn, lima beans, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  8. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken slightly.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, remove about 1 cup of the liquid near the end of cooking, mix with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and stir back into the stew. Simmer until thickened.
  • You can substitute cooked, shredded turkey or beef for the chicken.
