HEALTHIER CHICKEN VEGETABLE STEW



Healthier Chicken Vegetable Stew image

This is a really versatile recipe. I vary it depending on what I have in the fridge. I think the most important ingredients are the onion, garlic, and mushroom. You could probably even do a vegetarian version. This is also a good recipe for people with allergies.
