How to Cook Citrus Chicken Stew
- Portion the chicken into breasts, thighs and legs (or you can buy 6 chicken portions of your choice if you prefer). Peel and chop the garlic and onions. Chop the fennel and leeks.
- Melt the butter in a casserole dish and add the olive oil. Turn on high heat and brown the chicken portions all over for 5 - 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, onion, fennel and leeks, place a lid on the casserole and sweat the vegetables until they are tender (about 5 minutes). Pour in the chicken stock, season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and cook on a gentle heat until the chicken is cooked and tender (about a further 15 - 20 minutes).
- Meanwhile, pod the peas and broad beans and blanche them in boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes. When the chicken is cooked, add the peas, beans and olives. Finely chop the parsley and dill and stir these into the stew. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and add to the casserole, along with the yoghurt. Stir and bring back to heat and serve with Plain Boiled Rice.

A little grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of each serving makes a welcome additional flavour
Reviews of Citrus Chicken Stew
![]() This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I've been making this for years ever since I saw it here and it continues to be a crowd pleaser. I love chicken and lemons together so this dish is now the standard by which all of my future meals will be judged gemma (5 reviews) |
![]() Soo yummy. The basic recipe has fantastic flavour (not too lemony) but is a little light on the veggies. We added mushrooms, which were a nice addition, and sweetcorn from a tin. I think I will try adding some sauteed baby artichokes next time. Also, the stew is fantastic over wild rice. The recipe is super flexible. Ida (7 reviews) |
![]() Wow. This is to die for! The recipe sounded good so I just had to try it. It exceeded my expectations and I will be making it again and again and again. I never would have thought to put all these things together in a stew but I don't know why - the flavours go together so beautifully! It's almost like chicken piccata in hearty stew form. It was easy to make and was wonderful comfort food for a cold autumn supper. I will definitely be making this one over and over again. paula (3 reviews) |

As the name suggests, Victorian Chicken Pie is based on an old recipe that was much favoured in rural England about 150 years ago.... tastes good too!

When I don't have much time I often make Chicken with Parmesan and Basil because they're quick to prepare and make a really tasty dish.

In southern China from where this recipe originates, the words Chow Mein literally mean "stir-fried noodles" and it is a very popular dish worldwide.
