Chicken stew is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the combination of chicken, carrots, chickpeas, and raisins is a classic for a reason. The chicken provides a savory base, the carrots add sweetness and texture, the chickpeas add protein and heartiness, and the raisins add a touch of sweetness and chewiness. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can add more or less vegetables, or you can use different types of beans instead of chickpeas. You can also adjust the amount of spices to your liking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place chicken pieces in skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

EASY CHICKEN BREAST STEW WITH ONIONS AND CARROTS
This is our weekly/by weekly recipe and it's so simple and delicious. I never even thought of posting it, but my son insisted on doing so. This recipe is very old. My granmother, my mother made it the same way for years. You can easily make this with cut up chicken, beef or pork, I did that many times before, just cook it longer and add potatoes 0.5 hour before the end, or until done.
