GINGERY CHICKEN STEW



Gingery Chicken Stew image

Just 1 1/2 pounds of chicken to serve four people? Yes, because the emphasis is on the winter squash and daikon radish in this stew; unexpected, but substantial. It may seem downright semivegetarian, but the variety of flavors more than makes up for it.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds (4 whole bone-in) chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups chopped daikon radish
1/4 cup minced ginger
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock, or water, more as needed
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 pieces star anise
1 1/2 pounds any winter squash, cut into 1-inch chunks

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and cook, turning the pieces as they release easily from the pan, until they're well browned on both sides, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot.
  • Add the onion, daikon and ginger to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the stock, soy sauce, lime juice and star anise and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the chicken and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily.
  • Cook the chicken, covered, until very tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the squash. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding enough stock to keep it from sticking, until the squash is tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. If you like, remove the chicken thighs, cut the meat from the bones and return it to the pot. Fish out and discard the star anise. Adjust the seasonings to taste and serve.

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or zucchini.

  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
