SKILLET CHICKEN STEW

Skillet Chicken Stew image

It's been 20 years now since I adapted this from a recipe for beef stew. We like it so much that, in all that time, I have never changed any ingredients or amounts - unless it was to double them! Our home's on a river, and my husband, our three boys and I enjoy camping and boating. - Valerie Jordan, Kingmont, West Virginia
