Default Re: Entrees/Main Dishes

I made this tonight and YUM. It's adapted from something I saw Rachael Ray make this morning She called hers "Vermont Chicken Pie".

Chicken Stew with Rice

2 T olive oil
1 T butter (optional, could use one more olive oil)
4 scrubbed carrots (I never peel, personally), chopped fairly small
1 large onion, chopped
a handful of celery ribs, I used the inside leafy parts too, all chopped up
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
a few grinds black pepper
2 teaspoons dry thyme
a handful italian parsley, chopped up
3 T flour
1 quart chicken stock
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

a bunch of cooked rice, however much you need to feed your family. Brown tastes the best!

Put two cups of chicken stock in a saucepan and heat it up to poach the chicken. Throw in the chicken and put a lid on.
Get the oil and butter warmed up in a giant pan or dutch oven. Throw in the carrots since they take the longest to cook. Add the onion and celery. Hold back on the garlic for at least five minutes, it shouldn't cook too long. Add the salt, pepper and thyme.

Ten minutes after you put the chicken in boiling stock, take it out and cut it up.

Sprinkle the flour on the vegetable mixture and stir around. Cook for a couple of minutes. Dump in the stock the chicken cooked in. Stir it up good and pour in probably 2 cups or so more stock until it's a nice stew-y texture. Stir in the chicken pieces and parsley.

Simmer for ten minutes or so. Ladle over rice.

Can you tell I throw things around and don't actually time anything This made me laugh so hard when I read it through after writing it. Throw, throw throw...

Rachael's was a bit thicker and went into a casserole to be topped with biscuits, but extremely similar.
