Savory Chicken StewI’ve made thousands of chicken stews and tons of different versions.  While there the classic, well known Brown Stewed Chicken, there are so many ways to make it.  I’ve shared different versions over the years like Jerk Stewed Chicken and Tomato Chicken Stew and today I’m sharing a Savory Chicken Stew recipe and video.

This is a fairly simple recipe made with common ingredients that most of us tend to have on hand.  This Savory Chicken Stew gets its color from soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce versus the burnt sugar that is used in Brown Stewed Chicken.  For the vegetables I used a combination of carrots and bell peppers but you can also use potatoes. 

I’ve also added a video on my YouTube channel so be sure to subscribe and click the bell (if you haven’t already) so that you can stay up to day on new videos.  While you’re there be sure to check out my other videos.
