Easy Low Carb Chicken and Mushroom Stew image

We love a hearty soup on a cold day and this one has so much great flavor. The chicken thigh meat is so moist and the peas add a pop of sweetness. It's so good, we could probably eat the whole pot by ourselves!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 Tbsp coconut oil or oil of your choice
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chunked
2 tsp chopped garlic
1 1/2 c celery, chopped
1 c carrot, chunked
2 c chicken stock
1/2 c salsa, chunky or chopped tomatoes
few dash(es) hot pepper sauce (optional)
2 tsp salt
black pepper - a few grinds
1 bay leaf
1 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 tsp Herbes de provence
3 c sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c frozen green peas

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the chicken thighs into about 1-inch chunks (or whatever size you want).
  • 2. Put 2 Tbsp coconut oil in large pot and add the onions. Sweat the onions for a few minutes - be careful not to brown. Add garlic.
  • 3. Add chicken thighs and stir into the onion mixture. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the vegetables except for mushrooms and peas. Season with a couple of teaspoons of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • 4. Add chicken stock or 2 c water plus 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon. Stir in the salsa, herbs and hot sauce, and simmer - partly covered - for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Add mushrooms and lemon juice and simmer another 10 minutes. Then add the green peas, cover and simmer another 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning, thicken the sauce with a flour/water slurry if you like (I didn't).
  • 6. Serve or refrigerate and reheat later. This gives the flavours a chance to mingle. Freeze leftovers - if any.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The mushrooms are hidden in the broth, so they're not as noticeable. My kids loved the stew, and they didn't even realize they were eating mushrooms.
