Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, cut into bite-size pieces
1 carrot, peeled, cut into bite-size pieces
1 small onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 chicken breast with ribs (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 (15-ounce) can organic kidney beans, drained (rinsed if not organic)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy 5 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, and onion. Saute the vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, basil, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme. Add the chicken breasts; press to submerge.
  • Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently uncovered until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning the chicken breasts over and stirring the mixture occasionally, about 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken breasts to a work surface and cool for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Add the kidney beans to the pot and simmer until the liquid has reduced into a stew consistency, about 10 minutes.
  • Discard the skin and bones from the chicken breasts. Shred or cut the chicken into bite- size pieces. Return the chicken meat to the stew. Bring the stew just to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Ladle the stew into serving bowls and serve with the bread.
  • Serving suggestion: crusty bread.

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.

CHICKEN AND GARLIC STEW



Chicken and Garlic Stew image

Don't let the name of this fool you - it is elegant enough for dinner guests. I've made several slight revisions over the years. I prefer skinless, boneless chicken breasts for the health value, and I do a single layer in a 'bring to the table' shallow baking dish. Suggestion: Spread the soft garlic cloves on some crusty bread, like butter. The flavor is not overpowering!

HAWAIIAN GINGER-CHICKEN STEW



Hawaiian Ginger-Chicken Stew image

I received a newsletter from cooking.com with the subject line "Dinner on a Dime." This is one of the interesting recipes included - can't wait to try it! From the recipe description: This chicken stew has a bold ginger-flavored broth and provides a whole serving of dark leafy greens in each bowl. We tried it with frozen chopped mustard greens (available in large supermarkets) and it was even quicker to prepare and just as delicious. Serve with brown rice.

Tips:

  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables in this stew add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the stew before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or ginger, depending on your personal preference.

Conclusion:

This gingery chicken stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
