What’s the best cut of chicken to use?
I made this stew with skinless and boneless chicken breasts that are cut into bite sized pieces before being browned. If you like, you can use chicken thighs instead.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- For a more soupy stew, you can add an additional ½ cup of milk.
- The cream will go to the bottom of the pan if you don’t stir it while it is simmering, and you need it to soften the vegetables, so be sure to stir it every few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
