There is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a warm meal waiting for you. This chicken stew is a family favorite because it uses simple ingredients to create a thick and savory broth that tastes like it simmered all day long.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. You can use whatever root vegetables you have on hand, like parsnips or sweet potatoes, and it will turn out delicious every single time.

💡 Tips

This stew tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld in the fridge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the extra gravy.
