Right my next one I need to update is the recipe from 3 weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I made Chicken & white bean stew.
Serves 4 – Ready in 1 hour 20 including prep time (I think it took me less than that, approx 1 hour)
Ingredients:
· 2 tbsp sunflower oil
· 400g boneless, skinless chicken thighs (chicken breasts also work) cut into chunks.
· 1 onion, finely chopped
· 3 carrots, finely chopped
· 3 celery sticks, finely chopped
· 2 thyme sprigs or ½ tsp dried
· 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
· 600ml vegetable or chicken stock
· 2 x 400g haricot beans, drained
· Chopped parsley, to serve
Now for the How To:
· Heat the oil in a large pan, add the chicken and fry until lightly browned.
· Add the vegetables and fry for a few minutes more.
· Stir in the herbs and all the stock. Bring to the boil.
· Stir well, cover and reduce the heat and cook for 40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
· Stir in the beans and simmer for a further 5 minutes, stir in the parsley and serve.
I liked this dish, but unfortunately I did realise that I do not like celery, which sometimes ruined the spoonfuls I had, but if I had it with the beans and the juice, it wasn’t so bad! I thought that maybe the ratio to beans to everything else wasn’t very equal, so I maybe wouldn’t use as many next time, but considering the dish is gluten free, low fat, healthy and dairy free, it was really tasty, per serving its 291 calories! And it is really filling!
Next recipe coming up is Sicilian style fish stew so keep posted!
I still welcome all recommendations!
Bye for Now! x
