The Best Stewed Chicken Ever!

As promised here is the recipe for honestly the best stewed chicken you'll probably ever eat.. ever.
I don't have a great picture of it, probably because we devour it once it's ready!
I love this time of year for many reasons, one being that it's perfect weather for "one pot meals" - stews, soups, chili.. They are some of my favorites!

Here's what you'll need:
  • 1 pound chicken breast (bone-in)
  • 1 pound chicken thigh (bone-in)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 3 tbs flour
  • 3 tbs olive oil or bacon grease
  • 1 tbs butter
  • "Nature's Seasoning" season blend
  • Salt and pepper.
To start, remove skin from chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and seasoning blend. Heat dutch oven with 2 tbs olive oil (or bacon grease if you have it. you can also start by cooking a piece of bacon and use that grease. You can add the bacon back in at the end.) Brown both sides of the chicken in batches. It doesn't have to be completely cooked, just browned, you will return it to the pan to finish cooking later. Remove chicken and set aside. Next, add remaining oil and butter - cook carrots, celery, and onion for about 5 minutes, season with salt, pepper, seasoning blend. Add flower and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes, you want to cook out the raw flour taste. Next, return the chicken to the pot and add in chicken broth, it should almost cover the chicken. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Uncover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes or until the "gravy" is your desired thickness.
Serve with Sour Cream Biscuits.
  
The chicken will be so tender it falls off the bone.
 I promise this will be one of your favorite new go-to recipes.
It's definitely one of mine!
Enjoy!
