Rating: * * * *

4 small onions, quartered
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into -2inch chunks
2 pounds chicken thighs, skin removed
Handful thyme sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds red bliss potatoes, washed and quartered
2 handfuls green beans, trimmed
Hot pepper sauce, to taste

In a large pot, combine onions, garlic, carrots, chicken and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Add cold water to cover. Bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Skim and discard any scum that may come to the top.
Simmer until the meat of the chicken falls off the bone with almost no pressure from a fork, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Use 2 forks to separate the meat from the bone. Add the meat back to pot.

Add the potatoes, cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Add green beans, cook until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, add hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Chicken Stew
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Rating: * * * * *

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, cut into bite-size pieces
1 carrot, peeled, cut into bite-size pieces
1 small onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 chicken breast with ribs (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 (15-ounce) can organic kidney beans, drained (rinsed if not organic)
Serving suggestion: crusty bread


Heat the oil in a heavy 5 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, and onion. Saute the vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, basil, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme. Add the chicken breasts; press to submerge.
Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently uncovered until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning the chicken breasts over and stirring the mixture occasionally, about 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken breasts to a work surface and cool for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Add the kidney beans to the pot and simmer until the liquid has reduced into a stew consistency, about 10 minutes.

Discard the skin and bones from the chicken breasts. Shred or cut the chicken into bite- size pieces. Return the chicken meat to the stew. Bring the stew just to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Ladle the stew into serving bowls and serve with the bread.

Answer 2

If you want simple I'd poach or moist bake a few boneless breasts .. tear into a pot, add Cream of Chicken Soup, some veg for stew (freezer section at grocery), chicken broth.. let 'er rip. Might need to add water to thin but wait for the water to leech from the veggies first.

Answer 3

The simplest way I have ever made it is after a roasted, or baked chicken supper. Shredd the chicken meat, thicken the pan drippings, add veggies, dice your boiled potatoes. Simmer together everything is cooked so jsut get bubbly, then add simple dumplings on top garnish with parsley. Then puff yourself, with flour and grease,they think you slaved over it.

Chicken Stew

For sofrito
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup water
3 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon achiote paste* (sometimes called annatto paste; optional)
For stew
1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb russet (baking) potatoes (about 2)
2 cups water
1 (12-oz) bottle beer (not dark)
1 cup long-grain white rice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce to taste




Make sofrito:
Purée all sofrito ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
Marinate chicken and make stew:
Toss chicken with sofrito in a bowl, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour.

Remove chicken from sofrito, shaking off excess, and reserve sofrito. Heat oil in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in batches without crowding, starting with skin sides down and turning over once, until golden, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

When all of chicken is browned, pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot. Add reserved sofrito to pot and cook over moderate heat, scraping up brown bits, 2 minutes. Add water, beer, potatoes, and rice and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Add chicken along with any juices accumulated on plate and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Stir in chopped cilantro. Add salt and hot sauce to taste.
