*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
ROAST THE VEGETABLES:
-
Spray a large roasting pan with non stick spray. Add the potatoes, carrots, onions, vinegar, oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, salt and pepper. Mix well. Roast, uncovered, at 425° F. for 30 minutes. Stir once, halfway through cooking time.
-
Add the green beans and roast for 10 more minutes.
PREPARE THE STEW:
-
Meanwhile, pour the wine into a large saucepan. Add thyme and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken pieces and reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.
-
Add the roasted vegetables to the chicken and wine. Stir in 2½ cups of broth.
-
In a small bowl, combine the flour with the remaining ½ cup broth and stir until lump-free. Add the flour mixture to the chicken and vegetables. Cook until the stew is bubbly and has thickened, about 3 minutes.
➡️Recipe Tips:
- Feel free to sub out any vegetables you don’t care for with ones you like more.
- Chicken thigh meat would also be delicious in this recipe. They would add some calories, but SO tender and juicy. You could also use a combination of breasts and thighs.
- If preparing this recipe as GLUTEN FREE, just be sure to use a brand of chicken broth that is designated as GF and sub GF flour for the all-purpose flour.
✔️What to serve with Chicken Stew with Balsamic Roasted Vegetables:
This hearty stew is really a meal in itself, but a loaf of crusty bread and a simple green salad would definitely go nicely with it. Don’t forget to enjoy that dry red wine you used in the stew!
★How to Store:
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen in an air-tight container for up to 3 months.
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- Stew is the perfect, warm-you-up kind of meal, and this recipe is one that I find myself making again and again.
