Homemade Chicken Stew

There are many different ways to make a stew.  You can use any kind of meat that you want, any kind of vegetable, and any kind of seasonings.  One of my favorite types of stews is chicken stew.  It is one of my families comfort foods and so easy to make.  It is easy to make because you don't really have to follow a recipe.

Start off with a nice chicken broth.  I do not have a preference, however, this last time I made it I used Progresso Tuscany Chicken Broth.  It help to provide a flavorful base that was well seasoned but not over seasoned.  After pouring the broth in the pot I put some boneless chicken thighs in and added some additional seasonings: Emeril's Original Essence, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash Original Blend, and a smidgen of sea salt.  You can also use boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenders for the meat.  I let the chicken cook on the pot for a little while before adding carrots.  Eventually I also added broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, tomatoes, a little rice, and turkey sausage.  Once the dish was finished cooking the end result was what you see in the picture above.  A perfect blend of flavors that melt in the mouth.  The vegetables were seasoned perfectly.  The combination of flavors was pleasant for the taste buds and filling for the stomach.

If you have never tried chicken stew then I encourage you to try some.  You do not have to use the ingredients that I used.  Take what ever vegetables you like and combine them to make your own version of chicken stew.  The best part about chicken stew is not that it taste so great, but that you can make it more than one way.  You do not always have to use the same ingredients.  By trying different vegetables, different broths, and different seasonings you will discover an endless treasure trove of stews awaits.  So breakout that big pot, add your ingredients, and start cooking.  The perfect chicken stew is waiting to find you.
