Chicken and Veggie Stew


A super yummy chicken dish that I'm sure to repeat over and over again. Good with rice and bread.  I can chug down that creamy buttery sauce as if it were soup.  This tastes a lot like Chicken ala King, most probably because they have a lot of similar ingredients.


What I used
  • about 2 tablespoons of butter
  • olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 spoonful of McCormick celery flakes (we were out of real celery)
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 pack boneless skinless chicken breast fillets cut into serving pieces
  • 2 small potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 Knorr chicken cube dissolved in about 1 cup water
  • around 2 spoonfuls of flour
  • around 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots and peas)
  • 1 pack 250 ml Nestle all purpose cream
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
  • salt and pepper
  • paprika


What I did
  • melted the butter and added a little olive oil to prevent it from burning
  • stirred in the garlic, onions, celery flakes and carrots
  • poured in the potatoes and chicken, tossed it around until the chicken was no longer pink
  • dissolved the flour in the chicken stock and poured it in
  • added the cream when the liquid was boiling 
  • mixed in the frozen veggies and bell pepper and let it simmer for a few minutes
  • seasoned with salt and pepper
  • sprinkled with paprika before serving


*This was adapted from the Chicken, Corn and Potato Stew recipe from this cookbook I borrowed from my sister in law.
