AllyThis is INSANELY DELICIOUS, Chicken stew has been in our family for as long as I can remember (which sometimes it further back than yesterday). I added a bunch of crushed red pepper for spice and swapped 10 fl oz (30 cl) of cognac for a 6 fl oz (30 cl) of cognac
I love that you have a lot of stuff in your Chicken Stew and that it's not all broth. Love this! Thank
your Chicken Stew recipe brings back great memories. I love the chunky type of stew where I can see what I am eating instead of a mashed up soup.
