Three simple steps to a delicious chicken stew! I have gotten a few requests to make more “bachelor” friendly recipes. An every day, throw-it-all-in-a-pot-and-forget-about-it type of dish. I thought this Tomato Fennel Chicken meets these requirement.
Blogging has been a constant learning experience. I should have figured that out much sooner, that except for special occasions, people don’t really want to spend hours preparing complicated recipes. Most of what I cook on regular basis looks like this. I get some meat, chop some vegetables, add some spices and throw it all in a pot. I don’t ever really follow a recipe for stews because they are really hard to mess up.
This tomato fennel chicken can be made on a stove top or a slow cooker, you can use any cut of chicken or boneless chicken you like.
For other easy entrée recipes try my chayote beef stew, crock pot barbecue ribs, or sunchoke picadillo (you can replace sunchokes with kohlrabi, turnips, or rutabaga)
Ingredients:
1 medium onion cut in 8
2 tbsp of coconut oil, butter or tallow
2 lb. of chicken (I like free range legs)
1 lb. of chopped tomatoes
2 medium fennel bulbs, sliced
1/2 sliced red bell pepper
1/2 sliced green bell peppers
4 chopped garlic cloves
2 tsp of dried thyme
1 tsp of coriander
1 tsp of turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- In a large sauce pot, brown the onions in the oil.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked.
If using a slow cooker simply omit the oil, add all the ingredients to the pot and cook on low heat for 5 hours or high heat for 3 hours
