Creamy Chicken Stew
"I most always add in fresh sauteed mushrooms when I make this, you can also add in a can of cream of mushroom soup, I have done that many times, and the wine can be reduced if desired. This is a wonderful chicken stew!"

what a comforting stew!! I did add the mushrooms and the soup. I also added celery, peas some fresh parsley and a pinch of nutmeg. But if i didn't have those ingredients I am sure it would be great !! thank you so much for sharing that recipe Kittencal! It really hit the spot on a cold rainy day! -
Wonderful! I used the corn juice instead of water and extra wine as suggested, and used the optional parmesan but not the pepper flakes. I really loved the garlic and thyme flavor combination. Served over wide noodles, this was rich and delicious comfort food!
