It's been 20 years now since I adapted this from a recipe for beef stew. We like it so much that, in all that time, I have never changed any ingredients or amounts - unless it was to double them! Our home's on a river, and my husband, our three boys and I enjoy camping and boating. - Valerie Jordan, Kingmont, West Virginia

Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE CHICKEN
4 chicken breasts (more or less to taste)
1 cube chicken bullion (for each cup of water)
ADD AFTER THE CHICKEN IS COOKED: RESERVE THE BROTH
1/2 c celery
1/2 c diced onion
1 c sliced carrots
1 c broccoli florets
3/4 c water
1 tsp basil, dried (or fresh)
ADD LATER
16 oz sour cream
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese (less or more to your liking)

Steps:

  • 1. Fill pot with water enough to cover the chicken breasts. Add the chicken bullion cube and boil until the chicken is tender and done. Save the water for later, and take chicken breasts out with a slotted spoon to cool. Chop the chicken into bite size pieces when cool enough to handle.
  • 2. From the reserved broth, drain all but 3/4 cups from the pot. Add the celery,onion,carrot,broccoli and basil. Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender/crisp.
  • 3. Stir in the sour cream and mushroom soup. Add the chicken pieces and cheddar cheese. Cook over low flame just until the cheese melts.
  • 4. Enjoy with noodles of your choice, or rice or puff pastry, or any way you prefer! :)

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces to impart more flavor to the stew.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken adds depth of flavor and a golden color. Do it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Sauté the Veggies: Sautéing enhances the vegetables' sweetness and softens them perfectly.
  • Use Quality Broth: A flavorful broth forms the base of the stew. Choose a broth that complements the chicken and vegetables.
  • Season Wisely: Use a combination of herbs and spices to create a well-balanced flavor profile. Adjust seasonings to your preference.
  • Simmer Low and Slow: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. Maintain a gentle simmer to prevent the stew from boiling.
  • Add Vegetables in Stages: Add root vegetables first as they take longer to cook. Leafy greens and tender vegetables can be added towards the end.
  • Thicken the Stew: If desired, thicken the stew with a cornstarch or flour slurry. Alternatively, blend some of the cooked vegetables to create a natural thickener.

Conclusion:

This versatile chicken stew recipe offers endless possibilities for customization. Experiment with different vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a stew that suits your taste. Whether you prefer a classic comfort food or a more adventurous dish, this stovetop chicken stew is sure to satisfy. Serve it with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete and heartwarming meal.
