Lemony Chicken Stew
This one-pot lemony chicken stew recipe is filled with tender chicken and hearty veggies all simmered together in a delicious creamy lemon-herb broth.
Cooler weather has finally arrived in the USA and I’m feeling allll the cozy fall nesting vibes right now. So a warm bowl of this lemony chicken stew sounds like the perfect way to celebrate.
It’s the comfort food I love this time of year, made with tender bites of caramelized chicken and hearty veggies all simmered together in a creamy, lemony, garlic-herb broth. It’s perfect for enjoying solo, ladling over noodles or rice, or (my personal favorite) serving with big hunks of crusty bread for dunking in that flavorful broth. All options are winners here and guaranteed to warm you up through and through!
I’m especially partial to this stew because it’s full of protein and can be used with whatever stew-friendly veggies happen to be hanging out in the fridge. And the leftovers arguably taste even better the second and third day. So the next time you’re craving a cozy chicken dinner, grab a lemon and let’s make a steaming pot of this lemony chicken stew together!
