Chicken stew is one of the most popular dishes around the world. This dish has spread so much and become common that we all have accepted it as a real local dish. And it is often prepared. Chicken is also often on my menu. Prepared as part of this delicious stew, it is the ideal way to eat it boiled, not baked, as is usually the case.
In such a finely prepared and richly flavored dish, the chicken will be a favorite even with kids who are usually picky and mostly only like roasted meat. Just because of that, but also because of the simple preparation that doesn’t take too much time, I’m sure it will be on your table often.
Chicken Stew – spicy or mild version, which do you prefer?
Chicken stew is made from chicken drumsticks, thighs and wings. White meat is always best saved for other methods of preparation. Variants of the recipe may differ in some details, but ingredients such as onions, carrots, garlic and pepper are always mandatory for me. I also add peeled tomato for a better and richer taste.
Of course, there is also ground pepper. In many european countries, it is a mandatory ingredient of every classic stew that strongly defines its taste. Depending on how you prefer it, you will put sweet or hot pepper, or their ratio that suits you best. I like the milder taste best, with which all the ingredients of this fine dish can be felt better. But if you are daring and inclined to a more spicy taste, feel free to make it hotter, just be careful not to overdo it.
I served this chicken stew with pasta, which suits me best, but it would also be great served with rice, potatoes or polenta.
