My Chicken and Veggie Stew

I don’t usually follow recipes, I just make them up as I go along. Most of my meals take 20 minutes to cook, start to finish. This is a super yummy stew that is so easy to whip up anytime. You can substitute the chicken for any other type of meat you like or even tofu.

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
2-3 good sized raw carrots - sliced
2 large potatoes (or 4 small) - cubed
3-4 slices of red pepper - diced
1 cup (or could be less) frozen green peas
1 garlic clove - chopped
2 tbsp of olive oil
Splash of white wine
Dash Celery salt
Dash black pepper
Dash paprika
2 tbsp flour
Water

In a skillet add the olive oil. Cut the 2 chicken breasts into cubes. I like mine in 1/2 inch cubes. Season with celery salt, black pepper & paprika. Fry chicken til almost cooked, make sure pan is not too hot and add chopped up clove of garlic to skillet. Cook til chicken is a bit browned. Add sliced carrots, cubed potatoes and diced red peppers, season with celery salt, black pepper and paprika. Add cold water, enough to cover the veggies. Turn heat up. Cover til it’s starts to boil, then turn heat down to medium. Add frozen peas. Tilt lid. Let everything simmer for a 3-5 minutes, add white wine then cook until veggies are soft. In a little jar add warm water 3/4 full, add 2 tbsp of flour. Put the lid on the jar and shake until completely mixed. Then add to the skillet, stirring as you add. Ensure that the heat is not too high. Continue to stir until you reach the thickness you prefer. Turn the stove off and serve. This has 4 servings. Serve with your favourite bread. 

If you use red meat for this stew, substitute white wine for red wine. You can also add other types of vegetables of your choice and onions as well.

This is a hearty meal and it never fails. Enjoy!!
