Notes

This stew is incredibly versatile - feel free to substitute chicken thighs for breast meat for a richer flavor. You can also add other vegetables like corn, green beans, or spinach based on what you have available. For a dairy-free version, try using coconut milk instead of cream of chicken soup.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The stew often tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld together.
