Chicken stew is a warm, comforting one-pot dish made by gently simmering chicken pieces in a rich, flavorful broth or gravy along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. The slow cooking results in tender chicken and soft, hearty vegetables, giving the dish a rustic, home-style appeal. Depending on the preparation, flavors may be mild and herb-forward with a creamy touch from coconut milk or dairy, or more robust with the addition of spices and masalas. Wholesome and satisfying, chicken stew is ideal when paired with bread or served over rice or other grains.
