I make chicken stew just like this but I add some green peas, a can of Rotel to spice it up a bit, and brown sugar instead of white. My Mama taught me that adding a touch of brown sugar to anything acidic like tomatoes will always make it taste better! Thanks so much for your site Christy. It’s always a pleasure!

Wonderful! I was looking for a chicken stew recipe and decided to give this one a try last night. My family really enjoyed it (even my semi picky eater 9 year old!). I wanted more of a chicken version of beef stew so I added sliced celery and sliced fresh carrots in addition to the onions, potatoes and corn. Mashing some of the potatoes thickened the stew really well! I served it with hot buttermilk corn bread. This recipe is a keeper!

Christie this is pretty much the same recipe my family uses and my daughter always asks for it for all special occasions. She also request godd ole Peach Cobbler to go with it!
I also add red pepper flakes, worchestershire sauce – a dash or two and yellow mustard. Gives it a little zip. I love all your recipes. Your family reminds me so much of mine. Good hard working honest people that love good southern food. Some families have riches to leave behind we have recipes. One recipe that my mom and I cannot seem to replicate is for a sweet potato cobbler. Do you have one to share? My grandmother sure did make a wonderful sweet potato cobbler. Miss her so much. Love your site.

I must say, as a northern gal but southern at heart, I never tried Chicken Stew, but am anxious to join you southern belles & make some of this stew. I know my family will love it just by reading the recipe & looking at the picture of the finished product. So nice to try something new! Thanks Christy for sharing this!

This is the best! My husband loves “red chicken stew” which is a bit different, but I don’t. I think this is a great, in-the-middle compromise that the whole family enjoys:) Thanks for sharing all of your recipes!

I made this tonight and it was delicious. Served it with tomato flatbread crisps topped with parmesan. Next time I’ll mash up more potatoe to make the broth thicker. Did add a bit of red cayenne pepper but think tabasco would have been better. The broth and veggies, I think, would make a great base for a fish stew with the chicken broth. I had stock in the freezer that I used and added some chicken to it, but probably could have used more. All in all, a great base to begin with and customize, and to me, that’s what cooking is all about.

i made this today the only thing i did different is my diced tomatoes were italilon with basil,oregano,and marjorum. It gave it a good flavor.I thought I had put the chicken in too quick but it was ok.I also added a cup of baby lima beans. It was delicious.
