Creole Chicken Stew with Baby Lima Beans image

In less than an hour, you can have this comforting chicken stew, made with baby lima beans, on your table. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut down on the cooking time, and they stay nice and tender while the stew simmers. Season to your family's tastes with Creole seasoning, adding as much or as little as you like. Served with cooked white rice, it was made even more "down home" with a hot, crunchy biscuit!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices reduced-sodium bacon
1 ¾ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound frozen lima beans
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, or to taste

Steps:

  • Brown bacon in a 4-quart chef's pan or saute pan over medium heat, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to the bacon drippings in the pan. Brown over medium heat, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the same pan and cook in the drippings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut browned chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and chop the browned bacon. Add to the vegetables once tender. Stir in frozen baby lima beans, crushed tomatoes, and chicken broth. Season with Creole seasoning and adjust salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Press lima beans down into the cooking broth so they cook evenly. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook uncovered, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CREOLE CHICKEN STEW



Creole Chicken Stew image

This recipe was sent to me via Better Homes and Gardens news letter. I found it delicious and easy to prepare. It seems to me to be a health dish as will. Due to the fact that we have an alcohol intolerant mother-in-law living with us I substituted white wine with non alky type. Perhaps the dish would be better for having the real white wine. Lord knows I usually am. Please give this one a try. It is well worth it. I served this poured over a bed of rice.

LAMB, LIMA BEANS AND POTATO STEW



Lamb, Lima Beans and Potato Stew image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces whole onion or 11 ounces chopped ready-cut onion (2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 large clove garlic
8 ounces lean lamb
9 ounces small new potatoes
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
2 cups no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen baby lima beans
1 cup dry red wine
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • If using whole onion, chop and saute in very hot oil in nonstick skillet.
  • Mince garlic and add to onion.
  • Trim and grind lamb.
  • Scrub potatoes but do not peel; slice in food processor. If small potatoes are not available, quarter the potatoes before slicing.
  • When onions begin to take on color, add the lamb, breaking up to keep from clumping, and the potatoes. Stir well and cook over medium heat until lamb browns.
  • Stir in the hot pepper flakes, tomatoes, lima beans and wine; cover and continue to cook until potatoes are done, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right chicken pieces: For a more flavorful stew, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. These cuts have more flavor than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Seasoning the chicken: Before browning the chicken, season it liberally with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming bland.
  • Browning the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew helps to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the chicken.
  • Using a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid for the stew is just as important as the chicken itself. Use a combination of chicken broth, water, and white wine to create a flavorful base for the stew.
  • Adding vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Simmering the stew: Simmering the stew for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. Be sure to stir the stew occasionally to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Serving the stew: Creole chicken stew is typically served over rice or mashed potatoes. Be sure to garnish the stew with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, before serving.

Conclusion:

Creole chicken stew is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious Creole chicken stew that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give Creole chicken stew a try.
