Hearty Chicken And Vegetable Stew
- 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 leeks
- 3 stalks celery
- 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
- 1 pound baby red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 can peas
- 2 cans chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons dried organo
- 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Cut off roots and trim leaf ends of leeks. Slice each leek lengthwise in half. Separate leaves and rinse under running water. Cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces.
- Peel and clean garlic cloves. Dice finely. Rinse celery and cut into 1/2" pieces. Rinse matchstick carrots. Rinse baby red potatoes and slice each in half.
- Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2" pieces.
- In a 5 quart Dutch oven, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil until hot over medium high heat. Add one tablespoon of butter and melt.
- Add cut up chicken and cook until chicken is lightly browned and no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon to a medium bowl. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
- To the Dutch oven, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Melt. Add leeks, carrots, celery, garlic and potatoes.
- Season with sea salt, black pepper, oregano and rosemary. Cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned and leeks soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add wine and chicken broth. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk. Reduce heat to medium and stir into vegetable mixture, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Stir in chicken and peas. Simmer over low heat until heated through.
- Serve with a crisp green salad and French bread.
