Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Stovetop chicken and vegetable stew

Low heat, time, and the rest takes care of itself.

Rico's note: On cold days, put this on the stove and get on with other things around the house — the whole place smells like a family kitchen.
