Recipe: This leftover rotisserie chicken stew is a quick and healthy one-pot meal​on April 11, 2025 at 6:00 pm

Unlike creamy stews, this one is low in fat but still rich and satisfying, thanks to a secret ingredient: White kidney beans. These beans naturally thicken the stew, giving it a silky texture without the need for heavy cream. They’re also loaded with plant-based protein and fibre, making this meal even more wholesome.

Another game-changer? Light soy sauce. While it may seem like an unexpected addition, light soy sauce enhances the stew’s depth by adding a savoury richness that rounds out the broth without overpowering the other flavours.

This stew features canned fire-roasted tomatoes, which add subtle smokiness and depth from the caramelized tomatoes. If unavailable, substitute canned diced tomatoes.

With tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a soul-warming broth, this stew is a perfect weeknight meal that the whole family will love. Serve it with a warm, buttered baguette for the ultimate comfort food experience!

Note: If using fresh chicken breast instead, season two medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pot and pan-fry the chicken over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot, let it rest, then dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add it back to the stew along with the potatoes, allowing it to finish cooking as the stew simmers.
