    Ingredients<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Boneless and Skinless Chicken Breasts: <\/strong>Make sure that the fat is trimmed off the chicken and cut into 1-inch chunks!<\/li>\n
    • Yellow Onions:<\/strong> Dice the onions into small pieces.<\/li>\n
    • Carrots:<\/strong> Cut the carrots into bite-sized pieces.<\/li>\n
    • Potatoes<\/strong>: Baby Yukon gold potatoes are my preferred choice for their buttery taste,\u00a0but you can substitute any mini potatoes.<\/li>\n
    • Celery Sticks:<\/strong> These can be chopped thinly or in chunks, depending on your preference.<\/li>\n
    • Chicken Broth<\/strong>: I keep this low sodium to keep down the salt intake!<\/li>\n
    • Worcestershire Sauce<\/strong>: Soy sauce can be a 1:1 substitute, though it’s not as tart or spicy, but is high in umami and flavor!<\/li>\n
    • Tomato Paste: <\/strong>Ketchup can also be used but it brings a slightly sweeter flavor.<\/li>\n
    • Garlic: <\/strong>You can use a jar of minced or buy a clove and mince yourself.<\/li>\n
    • Poultry Seasoning: <\/strong>If you don’t have some on hand, keep in mind the main ingredients are sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, nutmeg, paprika, and garlic powder.<\/li>\n
    • Dried Rosemary, Thyme and Bay Leaves: <\/strong>Adds the depth of flavor to the stew that I love. Dried herbs make this a pantry-friendly dish but you can use fresh if you prefer.<\/li>\n
    • Milk: <\/strong>You can also use your favorite unsweetened dairy-free substitute if you prefer.<\/li>\n
    • Cornstarch: <\/strong>This will thicken our base right up turning it from a soup to a stew.<\/li>\n
    • Frozen Peas: <\/strong>You can also use fresh peas if you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Variations<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Try beef or pork:<\/strong> Although the recipe calls for chicken, beef, or pork would be great substitutes for this dish.<\/li>\n
      • Spice it up: <\/strong>Add chili powder or smoked paprika for more spice and depth!<\/li>\n
      • Bring on the veggies: <\/strong>I believe in the more the merrier! Try adding zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, or your other go to veggie to add more complex flavors to the dish. \u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
