SIMPLE CHICKEN STEW/SOUP

Steps:

• Sprinkle a small amount of salt, pepper, cumin, & paprika on the chicken. (About 1/2 teaspoon of each spice for all 3 pieces of chicken).
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the pressure cooker. Add the olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, & the rest of the spices into the pot. (Don't forget 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, cumin, & paprika).
• Note: If you are using a regular pot instead of a pressure cooker the cook times are tripled & you may need more water.
• Place the chicken into the cooker & add the onions & carrot. Cook for 10 minutes, after it begins to hiss. (Regular pot, roughly 30 minutes).
• Remove chicken & place on a plate. Put the potatoes & 1 1/2 cups of water into the pot & cook for 4 more minutes, after it begins to hiss. (Regular pot, 12-15 minutes).
• While the potatoes are cooking break the chicken into small pieces (disregard the bones).
• Once the potatoes are done add the chicken back into the pan & stir. Pour into a serving dish & serve with warm bread.

SIMPLE CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Put the bones and carcass from a leftover chicken (they can be in pieces) in a large pot. Cover with the broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
• Remove the bones and carcass with tongs or a slotted spoon; set aside to cool. Add the carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf to the broth, bring back to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are about half cooked (they will still have resistance when tested with a knife but be somewhat pliable when bent), about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice (to keep it from sticking to the bottom), and cook until the grains are just al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, when the carcass and bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
• When the rice is done, add the meat to the broth and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste. Serve hot.
