It’s perfect for those chilly evenings when you want something nourishing and satisfying. This stew is filled with tender shredded chicken, wholesome vegetables, and aromatic herbs, making it a family favorite. The recipe is simple enough for a weeknight meal but special enough to serve when you have friends over. The brothy base is both light and flavorful, allowing the ingredients to shine. It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken and turn it into something truly delightful.
This Tuscan chicken stew pairs beautifully with a crusty loaf of bread, perfect for soaking up the delicious broth.
