Healing Chicken Stew
Having recently recovered from the flu, I
rediscovered an old favourite that always hits the spot when I’m not feeling
well. All in one pot and under an hour to make, it’s perfect for comfort and
ease! I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
Two chicken breasts
Garlic
1 onion
1 large carrot
1 courgette
Broccoli
Flour
Salt and Pepper
Italian herbs
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
½ a pint of Chicken Stock
Large glass of red wine
Recipe:
Cut the chicken into inch sized cubes and
fry in olive oil in a large casserole dish. Once seared on each side, remove
from the pan, add a little more oil and fry the onions, carrots and garlic
until onions are translucent. Add a table spoon of flour, salt and pepper, and
Italian herbs and stir for about thirty seconds. Add the red wine and let that
simmer until the flour is dissolved into the beginnings of your sauce. Add the
chicken, courgette, broccoli butter beans, chopped tomatoes and stir. Then pour
in the stock and bring to the boil. When that’s been bubbling away for about
five minutes, put it in the oven for half an hour, forty minutes, without a lid
so the sauce gets nice and thick. It’s a delicious stew that you can serve on
its own, or you could add rice, or a delicious hunk of buttered bread. (Also
feel free to chuck in a handful of spinach!).
Mills & Boon author Pippa Roscoe lives
in Norfolk near her family and makes daily promises that this will
be the day she will leave the computer and take a long walk in the countryside.
She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t dreaming of gorgeous alpha males and
misunderstood heroines. Totally her mother’s fault of course—she gave Pippa her
first romance to read at the age of seven! She is inconceivably happy that she
gets to share those daydreams with her readers.
