Provençal Chicken Potato Stew Recipes

POTATO CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Combine chicken, mushrooms, onion, carrots and stock in a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.

PROVENçAL CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Combine the 3/4 cup flour and the salt in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag, several pieces at a time, and shake to coat completely.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned on both sides. Using tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain, then arrange in the slow cooker.
• Set the sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the onion and the 2 tablespoons flour. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, until some of the tomato liquid evaporates.
• Pour the onion mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender. At 3 to 4 hours, the chicken will still be firm and hold its shape. At 6 to 8 hours, the meat will be falling off the bone.
• Divide the chicken among dinner plates and garnish with the parsley, basil, and olives. Serve immediately.

PROVENçAL CHICKEN & POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Wash and dry the fresh produce. Small dice the potatoes. Separate the chard leaves and stems; roughly chop the leaves and thinly slice the stems. Peel and mince the garlic. Chop the chicken into bite size pieces.
• Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper; toss to coat. In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Add the tomato paste; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomato paste is dark red.
• Add the potatoes, zucchini, chard stems and ¾ of the garlic to the pan of chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly tender and fragrant. Add Herbes de Provence to taste (I usually use a tablespoon or more). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined and fragrant.
• Add the chard leaves, the vinegar and 2 cups of water to the pan of chicken and vegetables, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the liquid has reduced in volume by about half. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• If you want a richer sauce feel free to make an easy aioli. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp mayonnaise, a clove or so of fresh garlic paste and 1/2 tbsp of red wine vinegar; season with salt and pepper to taste.
