Enjoy another great rendition of this Chicken Stew! Try our Jerusalem artichoke, (aka sunchoke), lamb stew.

Sear meat first on both sides. Remove and set aside. Add vegetables into the pot and brown.

NOTE: After 1 hour of cooking add the green beans and sugar snaps.

Add a nice crusty baguette to sop up all the yummy juices! Against the Grain or Udi’s are favorites!
