Does anyone have a favorite recipe for Chicken Stew that they would like to share? I have one that uses milk and has a thin base, and it s very good in the summer, but I d like one with a thick gravy type base for winter. Thanks!

Hi Garym053
 
 I have a great Cream of Chicken & Rice Soup recipe that you might try.  Don t know if this was what you were looking for though.

 Cream of Chicken & Rice Soup
 
 2 medium chicken breasts, split
 8 cups water
 2 chicken bouillon cubes
 1 box long-grain & wild rice mix, (prepared as directed)
 1/4 cup butter
 1/2 cup frozen chopped onions (or fresh)
 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
 2 stalks celery, diced
 12 ounces evaporated milk
 2 tablespoons cornstarch
 2 tablespoons white cooking wine
 
 Cook chicken breasts in water with bouillon cubes, till done.  
 Remove chicken, debone, and set aside.  Strain chicken broth, saving 6 cups.  
 Prepare rice mix, set aside.  
 Melt butter in stew pot, add onions, carrots and celery.  Cook till tender, but not browned.  
 Add rice mix, chicken and broth, heat through.
 Place the cornstarch in a small mixing bowl, add a small amount of evaporated milk and stir until smooth.  Add remaining milk and white wine.
 Stir this mixture into the soup and heat through until desired consistency.

SuZone -- This sounds great.  Is the 1/4 tablespoon of butter correct?  That s an unusual measurement.

 I have a great one & when I saw your post, I went looking for it.  And I can t find it now.  You should see my house, I have cookbooks, recipes, etc all over the floor.  My husband said " old lord, your on a quest again" .  That s what he says whenever I m trying to hunt something and I can t find it.  I m one of those that keeps looking and doesn t want to give up.
 So, if and when I find it, I ll post it for you.
