Chicken, Mushroom, and Potato Stew
Stew is a cold-weather favorite. A bowl full of hearty meat and vegetables is comfort food at its finest. While beef stew typically gets all the love, beef can be pricey and can take hours of bubbling on the stove to get tender. Chicken stew is just as satisfying, with much less of an investment — both in cost and time.Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work beautifully for stew. They simmer into tender morsels after only 30 minutes of cooking.
