SOUTHWEST CHICKEN STEW



Southwest Chicken Stew image

I can't remember where I found this recipe but it is one of my family's favorites. I always make double and freeze some to take to work for lunches. It sounds spicy with the jalapeno peppers but it is not really that hot and you can adjust the number of peppers you use, if you want it hotter or milder. If you have a large microwave oven as I do, you can prepare this whole dish in a 4 quart casserole dish. If not, simmer in a large pot on the stove (you may need a little extra broth if doing it this way). The tortilla chips are used just to thicken the broth at the end.

Tips:

  • Pick the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this stew. They're flavorful and juicy, and the skin will help to thicken the stew.
  • Roast the tomatillos and chili peppers before adding them to the stew. This will help to concentrate their flavors and give the stew a smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the stew. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are all classic choices, but you can also add in other spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will help to develop the flavors and make the chicken fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese are all great options.

Conclusion:

This Southwest chicken stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold night. The roasted tomatillos and chili peppers give the stew a smoky depth of flavor, and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve the stew with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
