A variety of fresh vegetables and tomatoes add color and flavor to this chicken stew. The assortment of vegetables makes the stew nutritious and satisfying. Since the stew uses a cut-up chicken or chicken thighs, it's an excellent choice for budget-conscious home cooks.
Use bone-in chicken pieces or make the stew with boneless chicken thighs. Cook the stew in the oven or cook it low and slow in a crock pot. Either way, the result will be delicious.
This is a perfect one-pot dish for a busy weeknight or when you want a cozy, comforting meal on a cold evening.
For a hearty and satisfying meal, serve the chicken stew with dinner rolls or biscuits.
