This recipe can be an easy and tasty meal with protein, and fiber that you can make in one pot. It’s filling and low in calories, making it ideal for weight loss and health. It takes very little prep work, but cooking takes a while. That makes it a good choice to make on a weekend or another time when you’re home. Freeze leftovers or have them the next day for lunch or dinner. 

Variations and Serving Suggestions

  • Add any additional vegetables you like, like zucchini, broccoli, or cabbage
  • For a balanced and moderately low-carb meal, add 8 small potatoes, cubed, or 4 cups of cubed sweet potato, when you add the vegetables
  • Another option for carbs is to add 2 cups of brown rice or 8 ounces of whole-grain rotini or other pasta for the last 25 minutes of cooking, or to serve the chicken stew with a slice of whole-grain bread or toast
  • The stew goes nicely with a side salad

Recipe for Chicken Stew with Mushrooms

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 24 ounces (1.5 lb.) of boneless skinless chicken breast or leg
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 cup of chopped carrots
  • 1 cup of sliced celery
  • 1 cup of diced onion
  • 2 cups of sliced mushrooms (or 1 8-ounce package)
  • 2 cups of low-sodium broth
  • ½ teaspoon of thyme
  • ½ teaspoon of turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional topping: chopped parsley

Directions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink. It should be brown on each side, which can take about 3 minutes of cooking on each side. Remove the chicken from the pot and cut it into small pieces. Set the chicken aside.
  2. Add the garlic and onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the broth, carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms to the pot. Add the thyme, turmeric, and black pepper. Bring the broth to a boil, stir it well, and then lower it to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour at low heat.
  4. Remove the bay leaf. Stir and season to taste.
  5. Serve with chopped parsley, if desired.
