 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with food inventory adventures in food And I am here today with the recipe for chicken stew Now I first discovered this recipe when I lived in South Carolina chicken stew is a milk-based stew with chicken onions and Canned milk and butter and it is absolutely delicious. I First had it when my co-worker brought it to a potluck So I'm going to show you my version of chicken stew What I'm going to do a little bit differently than the original recipe is I'm going to make my own Chicken stock and for that I'm going to use some onions some parsley some celery and Some chicken bouillon and I will make sure to link the recipe in the description box so that you'll have the exact Measurements also to my stew I'm going to add a couple of medium potatoes that I'm going to chop up and then also a can of corn That I'm going to drain and add to the stew So the first thing I'm going to do is get my chicken going So I'm going to add my chicken to a pot along with all my veggies and then I'll bring you back and show you next steps So I have my chicken in the pot as you can see I've got some bouillon my onions I have about six cups of water in there. I've got my celery and parsley If you decide not to make your own stock then you're going to want to boil your chicken in about six cups of chicken broth And I am using about three and a half Pounds of chicken pieces. I have a preference for dark meat. So that's what I'm using You can use chicken breast if you want or a whole chicken But I would definitely recommend that you use bone-in chicken in order to get that flavor So I'm going to cover this and let it cook and then I will come back and show you next steps So I let my chicken cook and then I shredded it and that's the important step about Chicken stew is that you really want to shred your meat. You don't want it to be in chunks So I shredded it and then I strained the chicken stock. So now I'm going to add the chicken stock back in and if you were making just the traditional I'm just turning up my heat a little bit to a medium if you were making a Traditional chicken stew at this point you would add a large or medium onion You would dice it up very finely. You would add it in here and then you would add your canned milk Chicken stew is kind of like chicken and dressing or turkey and dressing Everyone does it a little bit differently. So the way that my former co-worker used to do it was just with the chicken broth The onion and then she would add in some canned milk and some Cajun seasoning like I said Mine has a little bit of a twist. So I am butter. I forgot you had a stick of butter So I've got my chicken broth in here or stock in here. I've got my chicken I'm gonna add my canned milk. Oh that's in there and I'm going to add a can of drained regular corn Going to add in my potatoes and I'm using two potatoes. You can use less or like I said none Just whatever your preference is and then you're going to add in your stick of butter And you're just gonna let this simmer until the potatoes are done. So about 30 or 40 minutes So I will come back and show you what it looks like So here is the chicken stew I let it cook for about 45 minutes or just until your potatoes are forked tender So here it is and this is not a thick stew So don't expect it to be a thick stew because it's not but it is very very rich You know, it has that one full stick of butter and you don't want to use margarine in this You do want to use the butter. You can see the butter floating in there so it does have all the butter in there and it has the Canned milk and I forgot to show you that I did add some Cajun seasoning to it My co-worker used to add Cajun seasoning to hers And this is a brand that we like slap your mama people traditionally traditionally eat this with crackers And then they sprinkle hot sauce in it So anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this video If you did please make sure to give us a thumbs up and if you have not subscribed to our channel I certainly hope you'll do so.
