One-Pot Chicken Stew with Mushrooms

Chicken Stew with Mushrooms, a delicious one-pot dish that is bursting with the most amazing flavours. Easy to make, high protein, gluten free, it only requires a few simple ingredients. No oven needed.

What a glorious recipe! This chicken stew is by far my favourite chicken dish. And not just because there is little effort put into cooking it, but because it tastes like nothing else in the world.

I do not like to use strong herbs or seasoning for this particular food, because I like it to have its natural sweet taste coming from the caramelized onions, mushrooms and chicken. Thyme is always a winner for me, it can safely be used with most dishes, it brings a suble flavour without stealing the show.

Not a fan of alcohol at all, but feel free to add some white wine, if you like, after the onions have been caramelized, but the dish is amazing without it as well. Stews are a great choice for dinners, they are hearty, filling, and great to share.

Other favourite stews of mine are the mouth-watering Hearty Oven Beef Stew Recipe [GF], Beef Stew With Sweet Potatoes or the ever so comforting Beef Casserole with Cheesy Gnocchi.

Using good quality ingredients is crucial. I prefer organic chicken, mostly because I do hope that the chicken is actually a better quality and a lot healthier, as the producers state.

And because otherwise, store-bought chicken is tasteless. Like pretty much everything else when it comes to fresh fruit, meat and vegetables, unless bought from farmers who grow everything organically.

Good old days, when food tasted exactly how nature intended. So, just have all the ingredients ready, cut the vegetables nicely, throw them in the pan together with the chicken, and relax, waiting for the food to be ready. It can’t get any easier than that.

You can replace the chicken thighs and drumsticks with chicken breasts, but I must say in this stew I prefer the former, you get a deeper, richer flavour.

Other herbs can be used too, parsley, dill, Herbs de Provence, etc. Also, peas, green beans, or carrots would work beautifully. You can either enjoy the stew by itself, with a nice slice of bread, or dinner rolls, or even mashed potatoes, rice, couscous, bulgur wheat to name a few side dishes.

Dinner’s ready!
