Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, bone-in and skin removed
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
6 ounces white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
4 cups butternut squash, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large (4 1/2 quart)Dutch oven. Add chicken and brown about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken and add onion, garlic and celery to pan; sauté on medium heat about 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the pan with vegetables.
  • Add tomatoes, chicken broth, wine, salt, pepper, sage, thyme and bring to a boil; simmer about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Add squash, bring to boil and simmer 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • Stir in frozen peas (optional) and reheat for a minute or two.
  • note:Bone-in chicken adds a little more flavor and bones can be removed after cooking but before serving stew. As a short cut, you can use boneless, skinless breasts, or if you like dark meat, substitute chicken thighs for some or all of the chicken breasts.
