Chicken Thigh Stew
Serves 2 | Serving Size: 1.5 cups each
Total Time: 25 min | Prep: 5 min | Cook: 20 min
Many recipes call for chicken breast because it is low in fat and calories. But chicken thighs, used in the right proportion in a recipe can still yield a healthful result and their price is easy on the pocket book. Plus they have a delicious flavor in a stew.
Ingredients:
olive oil spray
1/2 onion chopped
2 carrots sliced thin
1 bulb fennel, sliced
2 small boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 large red potato, with peel, sliced
2 cups water
pinch each: thyme, bay leaf, rosemary
1 tsp garlic powder
dash black pepper
Directions:
Lightly spray a Dutch oven pan and heat over medium high. Add the onions, carrots, and fennel and saute briefly. Cover until the vegetables are transparent about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and potatoes, stir; then add the water and seasonings. Bring the heat to a medium temperature so the stew simmers but does not boil. Cook covered until the chicken is done and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Serve hot.
