Notes

Use high-quality chicken broth for a richer flavor. Allow the stew to cool completely before storing to maintain its flavor and texture. Adjust the seasoning gradually. If you prefer a thicker stew, use a cornstarch slurry to thicken it at the end of cooking. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley for a pop of color and taste. Pair with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal experience.
