This Chicken Stew is Andrea’s grandmother’s recipe. She told us that this recipe has been in the family for a long time. The Chicken Stew is a white sauce stew enriched with red wine. Andrea said she would add in more red wine at the end of the cooking to have a more intense flavour broth.
Andrea served the Chicken Stew with steamed rice and broccoli. The broth from the Chicken Stew goes very well with steamed rice.

Instructions
Andrea prepared the chicken the day before as it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to make the broth. Put one stewing chicken in a stock pot. Cover the chicken with water. Add some vegetables (e.g. 1 carrot, 1 onion, 2-3 tomatoes, some white cabbages) and some herbs (e.g. parsley, thyme or rosemary). Bring the water to a boil and lower the heat to simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove the chicken and strain the broth.
