Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 35-40 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.

Step 7: Serve

Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a filling meal.

✅ Tips for Best Chicken Stew:

Use bone-in thighs for extra flavor (remove bones before serving if desired).
Add peas or green beans in the last 10 minutes for extra veggies.
Thickening the stew by simmering uncovered a few minutes longer is optional.

Why Meat ?

For me, meat is more than protein it’s a love language. My grandpa’s shop wasn’t just a business; it was a place where farmers, families, and food lovers swapped secrets over sausage samples. Those early lessons stuck:

Respect the ingredient: From pasture to plate, every step matters.
Simplicity shines: A handful of bold spices can outshine complexity.
Cooking connects: A perfectly seared steak or a slow-cooked stew has the power to turn strangers into friends.

After training at [culinary school or relevant experience, e.g., “a renowned culinary institute”/“working in farm-to-table kitchens”], I realized my true calling was bridging grandpa’s old-world wisdom with modern, approachable recipes. This blog is my way of honoring his legacy and helping you create moments that linger long after the last bite.
