Best Autumn Chicken Stew Recipes

AUTUMN CHICKEN AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large (4 1/2 quart)Dutch oven. Add chicken and brown about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken and add onion, garlic and celery to pan; sauté on medium heat about 5 minutes.
• Return chicken to the pan with vegetables.
• Add tomatoes, chicken broth, wine, salt, pepper, sage, thyme and bring to a boil; simmer about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Add squash, bring to boil and simmer 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
• Stir in frozen peas (optional) and reheat for a minute or two.

AUTUMN ESSENTIALS: RUSTIC CHICKEN SOUP/STEW

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Gather your ingredients.
• 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, over medium heat.
• 4. When the foaming subsides, add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
• 5. Chef's Note: This is a standard base for many hearty soups and stews. If you don't want to use the white wine, you can always substitute an equal amount of white grape juice.
• 6. Bring to a simmer, and allow the liquid to slowly reduce by half, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• 7. Mix in the cream.
• 8. Add the remainder of the chicken stock.
• 9. Chef's Note: If you are using store-bought chicken stock, or (heaven forbid) broth. Then, when you season the soup watch the salt.
• 10. Add the flour and water to a small bowl, and whisk together.
• 11. Add to the pot, and simmer until it begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• 12. Add the carrots, and continue to simmer for 10 - 12 minutes.
• 13. Add the onions, celery, , and then bring the pot back up to a simmer.
• 14. Continue to simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
• 15. Add the chicken, and then let it warm up with the soup, about 5 minutes.
• 16. Chef's Note: Although I am a big fan of brining chicken breasts, for this recipe, don't. It isn't necessary, and it will add unwanted additional salt.
• 17. Chef's Tip: If you want to add an additional level of flavor to this dish, then salt & pepper the chicken breasts, and sauté them in a bit of olive oil and sweet butter. When they are cooked, tear them into rustic pieces, and pour the liquid from the sauté pan into the pot, when you add the chicken stock in step 8.
• 18. VARIATIONS ON A THEME
• 19. Dumplings: After you add the chicken, drop your dumplings on the top of the soup, cover, and allow to slowly simmer, for 10 to 12 minutes. Here's an excellent dumplings recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/autumn-essentials-herb-cheddar-dumplings.html
• 20. Pasta: Get you favorite egg noodles and stir into the soup. Follow package directions as to how long the noodles need to cook. If you are using homemade egg noodles (YUM) they will only need about 3 to 5 minutes in the liquid before they are cooked. Here's an excellent egg noodle recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/master-recipe-egg-noodle-dough.html?p=4
• 21. Chef's Note: If you don't want to make your own dumplings, or pasta, no worries. Just pick up your favorite brand at the local grocer. However, if you take the time to make homemade (it really isn't that difficult), you will be glad that you did.

Steps:

• Peel the pumpkin or squash.
• Remove the seeds and any fibrous bits and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• In a large bowl, heat the oil and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the cinnamon and, if using the ground ginger, stir that in too.
• If you are using fresh, it will be added later.
• Cook for a couple more minutes and then add in the chicken.
• Fry until the chicken is browned slightly on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes and sugar.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper if you like, although I don't feel the dish needs any, and then add the chickpeas and pumpkin.
• Make sure the dish is evenly mixed and then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
• If you are using fresh ginger, add it in about half way through this process.
• Once the pumpkin is cooked, depending on how runny you like your stew, you may want to thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch and water.
• Just mix the two together and stir in the stew and leave for a couple minutes to thicken.
