AUTUMN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 3 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add onion, parsnips, carrots, rosemary, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and apples; bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot and stir in vinegar.

GOLDEN CHICKEN AND AUTUMN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until it's well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Stir the stock, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, potatoes and green beans in the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Season as desired.

AUTUMN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Peel the pumpkin or squash.
• Remove the seeds and any fibrous bits and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• In a large bowl, heat the oil and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the cinnamon and, if using the ground ginger, stir that in too.
• If you are using fresh, it will be added later.
• Cook for a couple more minutes and then add in the chicken.
• Fry until the chicken is browned slightly on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes and sugar.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper if you like, although I don't feel the dish needs any, and then add the chickpeas and pumpkin.
• Make sure the dish is evenly mixed and then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
• If you are using fresh ginger, add it in about half way through this process.
• Once the pumpkin is cooked, depending on how runny you like your stew, you may want to thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch and water.
• Just mix the two together and stir in the stew and leave for a couple minutes to thicken.
• Stir in the chopped coriander just before serving.

RUSTIC CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring broth to a low simmer and add bay leaves and chicken thighs. Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and coarsely chop when cool enough to handle. While chicken is cooling, add carrots and potatoes to broth. Add chicken when chopped.
• Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick frying pan. Add onion, celery and mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in thyme, parsley, and flour. Stir until flour is absorbed and add mixture to broth.
• Simmer stew for 15 to 20 minutes or until your potatoes and carrots are almost cooked to your preference. Add beans and milk or cream and let heat for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and serve!
