This chicken stew reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. She, with her expert hands and infinite patience, prepared stews that comforted the soul. Although she did not have Thermomix®, the spirit of this dish is the same: simple ingredients cooked with love to create a feast of flavors. The chicken, the star of the dish, provides its juiciness and mild flavor. It is important to lightly brown it before incorporating it into the Thermomix® to seal in the juices and give it a caramelized touch. The spring onion, milder than the traditional onion, provides a delicate sweetness that complements perfectly with the earthy flavor of the carrot. The garlic, although we do not peel it at the beginning, is cooked slowly, infusing the stew with a subtle and delicious aroma. The bay leaf, thyme and fresh oregano are the aromatic herbs that give personality to the dish, providing herbal and fresh notes. The white wine, a key ingredient, adds acidity and depth to the flavor, in addition to helping to deglaze the bottom of the pan where we browned the chicken, thus recovering all the caramelized flavors. The wheat flour, used in moderation, helps to thicken the sauce, giving it a richer and smoother texture. For optimal results, it is essential to use a good quality chicken broth, preferably homemade. If you don't have time to prepare it, you can use a commercial one, but make sure it is low in sodium. When sautéing the spring onion and carrot in the Thermomix®, it is important not to exceed the Varoma temperature, as this could burn the vegetables. If you see that they are browning too quickly, reduce the temperature to 100°C. When adding the chicken and wine, it is crucial to remove the measuring cup to allow the alcohol to evaporate completely, leaving only the flavor. During the final cooking, you may need to add a little more broth or water if you see that the stew is drying out too much. If you want to give this dish a different touch, you can add other vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers or peas. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can substitute the chicken with seitan, firm tofu or even chickpeas. As for the spices, you can experiment with sweet or spicy paprika, cumin or even a little curry powder. This chicken stew is perfect to serve with white rice, homemade French fries, mashed potatoes or even couscous. You can also accompany it with a fresh salad to balance the richness of the stew. If you have leftover chicken stew, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days. You can also freeze it for later consumption. To reheat it, you can use the microwave or the pot. If you reheat it in the pot, add a little broth or water to prevent it from drying out. This dish can be prepared in advance and left to rest in the refrigerator overnight. In fact, the flavor improves over time, as the ingredients have more time to integrate.
