Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 cups water, or as needed to cover
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed, or more to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 small white onion, chopped, or to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans cream-style corn

Steps:

  • Arrange chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken to a plate to cool; leave cooking liquid in the pot. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard chicken skin and bones. Shred meat and set aside.
  • Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, onion, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add corn and shredded chicken to stew. Cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use lean chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs to reduce the overall cholesterol content of the stew.
  • Choose heart-healthy cooking methods: Instead of frying, bake, roast, or grill the chicken to minimize the addition of unhealthy fats.
  • Load up on vegetables: Incorporate a variety of colorful vegetables into the stew, such as tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots, and zucchini, to boost its nutritional value and fiber content.
  • Add beans or lentils: For a hearty and protein-packed stew, include beans or lentils, which are rich in fiber and can help lower cholesterol levels.
  • Use low-sodium broth: Opt for low-sodium or unsalted broth to control the sodium content of the stew, especially if you have high blood pressure or are watching your salt intake.
  • Season wisely: Use herbs, spices, and citrus to enhance the flavor of the stew instead of relying heavily on salt. Experiment with garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, and lemon zest for a flavorful and healthy twist.
  • Serve with whole grains: Pair the stew with whole grain bread, brown rice, or quinoa to create a balanced meal that promotes heart health.

Conclusion:

Low-cholesterol tomato chicken stew is a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed as part of a heart-healthy diet.
