Notes

  • Be careful while adding salt to the recipe. Chicken broth has salt in it. Also, we seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • After adding chicken to the broth, reduce the heat and cook on low heat for 30- minutes. It gives you tender and juicy chicken pieces that taste incredibly delicious. Also, slow cooking helps to thicken the stew.
