Gluten-Free Chicken Stew with Carrots and Celery

After a holiday week, some old standbys for a weeknight meal look more interesting again. Not that I don’t usually cook a regular meal on weeknights, but those aren’t all-out, extravagant dishes with all the bells and whistles. They’re more like “what can I cook that’ll taste good and also be relatively healthy for us.” An easy chicken recipe like this Chicken Stew fills that need for a weeknight meal.

This can be started in about 10 or 15 minutes, then left to simmer on its own for the rest of the time. The chicken and vegetables can be eaten “as is” for a filling lower carb or paleo meal by itself. Another way to serve it is over raw shredded cabbage, since the hot gravy or broth wilts the cabbage instantly. For Al, though, I heat some leftover rice or potatoes at the end of the cooking time. Then we’re both happy.
