Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb fatty salt pork, salt rinsed off if necessary and pork cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (3 1/2- to 4-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium carrots (1/2 lb), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh summer savory or 1 teaspoon dried savory, crumbled
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 cups water
2 lb boiling potatoes

Steps:

  • Cook pork in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork with a slotted spoon to paper towels and pour off all but about 2 tablespoons fat from pot.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Brown chicken in fat in pot over moderately high heat in 2 batches, skin sides down first and turning over once, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to 2 plates, breast pieces on one and the rest on the other.
  • Add butter to fat in pot, then cook onions, carrots, and savory over moderately low heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water in a stream, whisking, then add remaining teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Return chicken, except breast pieces, and salt pork to pot, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Add potatoes and breast pieces to pot, then simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

5 stars! This chicken stew is amazing. The chicken is so tender and the broth is so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Overall, this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the broth was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I made this recipe for my family and they loved it! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the broth was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is my go-to recipe for chicken stew. It's always a crowd-pleaser and the leftovers are just as good the next day.

The chicken stew was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think next time I will reduce the amount of salt in the recipe.

Disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the broth was bland. I think I may have overcooked it, but even so, it just didn't have much flavor.

Easy to follow recipe with great results. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I added some extra vegetables like carrots and celery, and it turned out even better.
