Chicken Stew!

We're craving stews in our house, what can I say? It's wet and windy and after the school run we're all looking forward to sitting down together and tucking in to this simple yet very tasty chicken stew.
Time: 45 mins
Serving: 6
1 red onion, finely chopped
Two carrots, finely chopped
2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
500g baby potatoes, halved
300g mushrooms, halved
450ml chicken stock
500g chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
Olive oil, for frying
25g butter
1 tbsp plain flour
Fresh thyme
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
To serve:
Chives, finely cut
1. Season the chicken and fry in a high sided pan in some olive oil over a high heat until brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
2. Add the butter to the same pan and fry off the onion, carrots and celery until soft.
3. Turn down the heat to low and add the flour and stock, mixing well. Turn the heat back up to a steady simmer and let the sauce thicken.
4. When the sauce has thickened, add the chicken, potatoes and mushrooms to the pot. If needed, add water to cover the chicken and potatoes.
5. Bring the pot to a boil, cover with a lid and cook until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
6. When ready to serve, sprinkle with chives and enjoy!

Love your recipes and tips. Especially love the quicky ones as a pensioner where I don't have to use the oven. Soups are fabulous, thank you for sharing with us.

I like your other chicken for the soul recipe. I have done this so many times and shared equally. Keep up the good work/recipes

[@annehalferty5700]

Definitely going to try the soup I’m trying to lose weight so I’ll have to use frylite in place of the olive oil but the soup looks delicious. I would love to see more recipes I could eat. Thank you .

[@funguykel]

Great for the upcoming colder weather. Stick to your ribs kind of food.

[@davidjefferson8023]

What is the difference between a stew and casserole?

[@milkshake3350]

Nothing as far as the food is concerned.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

‘Technically’ a casserole goes in the oven, a stew gets cooked on top of the hob / stove. But.. potatoes / potata’s 😉

[@josephyow5641]

Please do the full videos you used to do. These look like Instagram posts.

[@Flashblade]

Why do you always add flour lol potatoes are already so starchy

[@comesahorseman]

No white wine added to the pan?? Just an oversight I'm sure. 😳

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Why is white wine needed? It’s a stew. Beautifully flavoured stock & seasoning is more than enough.

[@comesahorseman]

@@LauraBidingCitizen for you, maybe.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

@@comesahorseman Well then add it?! I don’t know anyone that adds wine to proper older family British stews, bitter perhaps & only to beef, but even that was a luxury & unnecessary. Wine wasn’t luxuriously laying around the house years ago, they added flavour in many other ways. To put a recipe down because it isn’t to *your* liking is merely ignorant.

[@comesahorseman]

@@LauraBidingCitizen you must be a *delight* at parties! Have a wonderful day, & consider yourself blocked.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

@@comesahorseman haha, more of a delight than you’ll ever know. Thankfully I don’t sniff food to see if there’s wine in it first before devouring it! I’m still not blocked by the way, I can see your comments! 🤣
