Chicken Stew (Real Cajun Recipe)

[@TheCajunChef]

+Dianne Nguyen The difference between a fricassee and a chicken stew is how the chicken is cooked first. In a fricassee, the chicken is seared (browned) first then added to the roux. In a chicken stew, the chicken is added raw and it boils in the roux.

My late wife was from Broussard and her cooking skills was indeed a way to my heart. 21 yrs If I hadn't married her and brought her to Texas she would have been known as the Little Old Cat-Lady from Broussard. Ha.

[@TheCajunChef]

Haha, you can't beat that cajun food. I love your comment.

[@janetspell1396]

Thanks for this video!!!..I wanted to make this today and needed a refresher course!

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you so much. Hopefully it came out good

[@deborahfoster1960]

@@TheCajunChef ...@Janet Spell. Janet,I see your comment is 5 months old but today, I too came here for a refresher course. How ironic 🐔 My old roommate is from New Orleans and he would make this for me. Omg...so good. I like it with a thicker roux or whatever but I'll eat the shit out of it. Can't wait to try it again. And Cajun Chef you make people want to cook. This is just like being in someone's kitchen while they cook. Great video 👍

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you so much! Thats what I was trying to do. I love cooking and hopefully I can make the joy of cooking contagious!

[@bbmusic6816]

you made a good point in mentioning color does not equal thickness with roux. looks good, bro

[@TheCajunChef]

+B&BMusic thanks so much

I have a friend in New Iberia that ships me the NuNu’s and Swamp Dust to me in North Alabama, It’s awesomeness in a jar. I get mine by the gallon jug

[@TheCajunChef]

+Phillis Johnson Thats awesome! It really is some good stuff.

[@JesykaL]

Hey I'm also from New Iberia!! Living in houston, wish I could get some of the good stuff shipped out to me..

[@Ziggy5003]

love the recipe thank you :)

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you!

[@diannenguyen1846]

Looks Amazing!!! I definitely gotta try this recipe one day. Question. What's the difference from a chicken stew from a fricassee or smothered chicken? Is it just the thickness of the gravy? Thanks!

[@steveraman4562]

cool i must try it thaks

This has to be made in cast iron folks! and letting that frozen veg thaw would'nt be a bad idea

[@123Mireka]

It looks delicious but it looks more like a chicken gumbo. A stew is a lot thicker !!

[@tallterrilaw8646]

My brother in law is from Louisiana and he use to make this. I didn't realize it was a traditional cajun dish.

[@parkerboi9115]

The Creole way is way brudda (black French) brown ya meat sha !!!🤣

[@DemonicDemolition]

Nothing like the smell of Roux cooking in kitchen. Though I do like my Fricassee a little thicker than yours.

[@TheCajunChef]

+Mr. GM you are right about that! Sometimes I make a thicker roux but the family prefers it a little thinner. Thanks for watching

[@deborahfoster1960]

Mr.GM....cooking is all about preference. Just like music. No one's way of making a dish is wrong. If it taste good...there's your confirmation. Just like a dj...if the dance floor is full then his job is done 💃 💃 ✌

[@TheCajunChef]

I agree Deborah. I never bash anyone for how they make something. I am always open to trying different variants of the same dish. Thanks for the comment!

[@siremenson]

Did you say.. "Trillian "? instead of Holy Trinity? I am confused. Thank you

[@TheCajunChef]

+siremenson Trinity. It's the three key ingredients in most Cajun dishes

[@DrewVerdin]

Don't use frozen trinity and don't use water. Use chicken stock or broth.

[@terryporche8745]

I can tell you are not a Cajun cook!

[@stevenhair6156]

Here is the definition of a troll. Someone who talks out of their ass but never backs it up. WHY? can you tell he is not a cajun cook? Over 3000 fans disagree.

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you very much Steven. I thought the same things, I try not to pay attention to all the negative comments unless they are constructive. Thanks again!!

[@stevenhair6156]

You are very welcome. I think your advise is about the best Ive heard. If you cannot learn from someones words, there is no use taking anything they say to heart! You do have the right attitude. I made this stew two weeks ago, it was awesome, Thank you for sharing.

[@TheCajunChef]

I'm happy you tried it and liked it. I completely agree that there is something special about those "hole in the wall" places. Cajun food in particular can be fantastic if prepared the right way. I am trying to find the time to make more videos. I know its what I need to do

[@kimbelyconcepcion6687]

Did you just added raw chicken to a already cooked roux ?? 😔

[@TheCajunChef]

Of course. If i was cooking a fricassee I would have browned the chicken first

[@TheCajunChef]

Lol thanks Boop Sloop!

[@EdSki1970]

STEW Na bra

[@TheCajunChef]

huh?

[@louisle9162]

You're not Cajun. I can understand you.

[@makayladshaun5243]

yall nasty cause you NEVER add raw meat to cooked food the chicken was suppose to be cooked first, not all the way but browned. I bet those of you who feel this is ok also feel you don't need to wash and clean your meat neither? Looks like a pot of salmonella.

[@TheCajunChef]

You do realize the food cooks for plenty of time to completely cook the meat and kill off any salmonella that may be lurking. Thanks for the feedback.

[@BeyondtheVeilwithKorah]

You do know how chicken broth is made? You must be a new cook. Why don't you look up so chicken soup/stew recipes you will find that raw meat is used.

[@TheCajunChef]

You are correct! Thank you!

[@AsaultWeaponKing]

Makayla D'shaun You are a dumb stupid ass coward hide behind a phone or computer!!

[@TheCajunChef]

I know how to cook and I show people with my videos. You left comments about how we are nasty. I assure you that is the way to cook this particular dish. The great thing about cooking is that you can change the way you prepare the chicken. I will give you a warning. I use young chickens and they cook very fast. The 1 hour they are cooking in the stew is a perfect amount of time to completely cook the chicken and not have it fall apart.

[@junewilliams4481]

not good too white
