Chicken stew that my kids sukaaa

I have some leftover of roasted chicken fromlast night dinner. Mmg kalau isi ayam/chicken breast kat rumah ni no one gonna eat. So i have to be little bit more creative sebab tak nak membazir, you know. 

Usually i would make a begedil. Or masuk dalam nasi goreng or make a sandwich. 

But since im still having flu, chicken stew is just something that i need. 

I also had gizzard inside the fridge. Kumpul2 dah cukup kot 10. I always made sambal with it. But im using it as a based for the stew too.

What you need :

Large flat plan

Shredded chicken meat Just the meat. (Put aside the chicken skin)

Chicken juice from the roasted chicken of any. 

Chicken stock

Gizzard(optional)

One large onion(dice)

Carrot

Potatoes

Salt and pepper

Flour

Not so many ingredients ey?

How to : 

First thing first. We need to make a stock. Put the leftover chicken bones in a pan with water and let it boil away. Put in basil leave and rosemary if you have any. 

Hot pan, olive oil + a spoon of butter if you want. Cut your gizzard into small pieces and sautee it away. If you have any left over chicken skins do chopped into small pieces and sautee it too. Crispy skin is alwaaaaayyyssss works wonders and bring more flavour.

Put in your finely dices onion. Tossed it around. Once your onion has turn slight brown ish. Put your diced carrots and potatoes. Tossed it around again. 

Put in a spoon or two of flour. Stir it. By this time your chicken stock is ready. Pour the broth into the pan. Use a sieve. Stir it. Your soup will be silky and thicken. Put in your shredded chicken. Let it simmer for good 10 mins. Add water if it dry out. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Put in some chopped parsley in the end.

Easy peasy no?

Ok. This stew is great to eat on a cold day. Nak makan with garlic bread or dumplings or even like my kids- with nasi impit or mash potatoes. 

If you have leftover of the chicken stew plak, you can make yourself a chicken pot pie. Just put your stew in a ramekin. Stir in bechamel sauce if the stew a bit cair and slap over a puff pastry on top. Put in oven 175c for 20-30 mins. Taadaaaa. Instant pie.
