Questions about Chicken stew
How do you thicken chicken stew without making it lumpy?
Stir a spoonful of flour or cornflour into cold water until smooth, then gradually whisk it into the simmering stew. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until it thickens; adding flour directly to the pot can leave lumps.
How long should chicken stew simmer?
Simmer gently until the chicken is tender: allow roughly 25–35 minutes for boneless pieces or 40–50 minutes for bone-in pieces. Check that the centre of the thickest piece reaches 75 °C.
Can you freeze chicken stew?
Yes. Cool it promptly, portion it into airtight containers and freeze; for the best texture, use it within about three months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
How long does chicken stew keep in the fridge?
Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking in a covered container, and eat it within three days. Reheat only the portion you need, until steaming hot throughout.
What goes well with chicken stew?
Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, crusty bread or dumplings to soak up the gravy. Peas, green beans or steamed cabbage make a simple vegetable side.
What can you use instead of chicken in a stew?
Turkey pieces work in much the same way; check that they reach 75 °C in the centre. For a meat-free stew, use chickpeas or butter beans and add them near the end so they heat through without breaking up.
What is the difference between chicken stew and chicken casserole?
The names overlap, but chicken stew is usually cooked gently on the hob with enough liquid for a spoonable gravy. A casserole is commonly cooked covered in the oven, where the chicken and vegetables cook together in the dish.
Can you make chicken stew with leftover roast chicken?
Yes. Cook the vegetables and gravy first, then stir in shredded roast chicken near the end and simmer until piping hot. Adding it early can make the meat dry and stringy.
