It sounds like you had a frustrating experience with that chicken stew recipe! Here are some tips and adjustments you could consider for future attempts to avoid similar issues:

Tips for Cooking Chicken Stew
  1. Searing Chicken:
    • Heat: Start with medium-high heat.
    • Time: Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
    • Watch for: The chicken should easily release from the pan when it’s ready to flip. If it sticks, it's likely not ready to be turned.
    • Deglazing: If you have burnt bits, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of broth or wine after removing the chicken to lift the stuck pieces.
  2. Sautéing Vegetables:
    • Softening: This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, but you can watch for the veggies to become translucent and slightly tender. If they start to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
    • Cleaning the Pan: If burnt bits are a problem, consider wiping the pan before adding your vegetables.
  3. Simmering:
    • Timing: Cooking times can vary based on the size of your vegetable pieces. Cutting potatoes and carrots smaller can help them cook faster. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
    • Liquid Levels: If the broth evaporates too quickly, you can add more liquid gradually during cooking to maintain the desired consistency.
  4. Adding Frozen Peas:
    • Instead of adding them at the very end, consider adding them a few minutes earlier so they have time to cook through without becoming rubbery.
