Today, I'm talking about one of my all time favorite fall meals, Chicken Stew!
My mom used to cook this all the time when I was a kid, because she could make a lot of it. Now, I do the same. In my opinion, it tastes even better the next day than it did the first. Plus, you really need no sides with stew (except maybe some saltine crackers).
Funny story: once when I was in elementary school, I took this stew for lunch in a thermos. This thermos was a fancy thermos. It was unbreakable. As I walked through the lunch line, I grabbed a carton of milk. I guess the milk made my hands slippery, because as soon as I got to the table I dropped the thermos. CRASH! Broken thermos everywhere, including in my classmates food. I was probably in the third grade, so naturally, I freaked out. My mom would kill me and now, not only did I not have food, my classmate didn't either. Luckily, the head lunch lady gave us both free food. Then, she called my mom. I guess I freaked for nothing, because I don't recall getting in trouble. For the record, I'm still just as clumsy ;)
Ok, so now that you've heard my embarrassing story, let's get to the good stuff. This recipe is really simple, and if you are like me, simple is best! I'm kind of a picky eater, so I don't really do mixed veggies. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but this stew has noodles. I know a few people who don't want noodles in their chicken stew, but I say bring on the carbs!
So the main components of this stew are noodles, potatoes, corn, and chicken - perfectly shredded chicken. Need a tip on how to get perfectly shredded chicken? Use a pressure cooker! Umm, yeah, they are like magic. I use mine anytime I need to be able to shred chicken.
So, while you are thinking about pumpkins and scarecrows, remember to stay warm and make some chicken stew. It's like they say on Game of Thrones, "Winter is Coming".
Tell me what you think!
