January 23, 2001 Chicken Rosemary Stew

This was on of my early recipes, coming from the old Food Network show How to Boil Water. It's a very simple recipe with a big payoff in taste. It has 41 reviews with a 5 star rating showing its popularity
You can find the recipe here.  The treat of this recipe for me is the carrots, they cook in the chicken fat for a while and then stew for 40 minutes and come out so sweet and tender.

or my version here.

I first made it back in 2003 or 2004 when Carla's parents Glenn and Tommie were coming over for Sunday dinner every week.  Glenn was very allergic to to celery, so I had to make it without. It was so nice to have them over to dinner; thinking about it makes me sad.

I'll spare you the line up before the cook. Here the chicken thighs have been fried for about 8 minutes.

Next, in goes the carrots and celery to saute until tender; about 10 minutes (these are big chunks of vegetables)




We add the broth and the chicken goes back on top; be sure to keep the skin above the liquid


Serve over noodles

Yum. Easy and tasty.
