Notes
- Using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken will save you time.
- Ground thyme provides a much bolder flavor than using dried thyme leaves or fresh thyme.
- Choose a chicken broth that is not too high in sodium. The one I use is moderate with 560mg per cup.
- When chopping up the celery stalks, I include the celery leaves. They will give the stew a nice flavor.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables.
- Consider adding a teaspoon of tumeric. This spice has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and will give the stew a nice deep yellow color.
