I recently had a cold and this is a super Chicken Stew to help the lows that come with a cold.
I rarely eat meat and when I do it is fish and organic free range chicken ONLY . I have a hard time eating another creature that has given its life so I might have a meal. I also will not eat any animal that has suffered the cruel forms many companies use to raise and butcher the animals we eat. I research the companies I buy from and stores I buy from too. WALL MART IS A BIG NO NO FOR MEAT as they buy from cruel processors. OK my rant is over.) Here is the recipe for my "Gypsy Stew" it is from the restaurant 'The Pink Adobe" in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
2-4 = breast free range organic chicken cut up into large bites
1-2=cartons free range organic chicken stock. You may need to add water too as all the ingredients need to be covered with liquid
3-4=yellow onions chopped into in chunks
4-6=small red potatoes cut into small chunks
3/4 cup cooking sherry
Salt and pepper to taste.
Place these items in a pot and slowly cook for an hour. Try not to boil.
1-2= 16 oz can diced tomatoes.
1=13 oz. frozen tub green hatch fire roasted chiles, more if you like it very spicy !!
Put these 2 ingredients in a bowl and marinate them together while the top ingredients simmer.
Once the stew is done , add the tomatoes and chiles then simmer for another 1/2 hour. Just before serving add another 1/2 cup of cooking sherry and DO NOT BOIL.
Serve in bowls adding diced Monterey jack cheese and sour cream . Also serve with warm tortillas on the side. YUMMY !
A lemon desert such as key lime pie or lemon sorbet is a perfect after treat.
