Use a variety of spices. This will give the stew a more complex flavor. Good options include garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Cook the stew slowly. This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
Serve the stew with a side of whole-grain bread or brown rice. This will help make the meal more filling.
