The weather is still chilly which means it’s comfort food time!
My One Pot Spanish Chicken Stew is what’s required for all comfort food lovers.
There’s nothing better when it’s cold outside than eating a nice big bowl of spicy stew.
This stew includes some of my all time favorite ingredients like chicken, sausage, Cento tomatoes and my favorite Spanish Paprika!
I love spicy food and using the hot Spanish Paprika gives this dish a nice kick!
You can go with a milder paprika if you can’t handle the heat or if you’re making this dish for kids.
My family only wants it super hot so I went hot all the way!
I’m also in love with these Pimiento Stuffed Olives.
I didn’t drain the olives before adding them to the dish because I wanted that briny taste added for extra flavor.
If you prefer you can drain your olives, the choice is yours.
This dish is not only a one pot wonder, which means less mess to clean up after cooking, it’s also really simple.
First, I browned up a pound of smoked sausage in olive oil.
Please don’t drain the sausage grease people because this dish is all about the flavor!
Secondly, add a little red onion and garlic to the sausage grease and cook for a few minutes.
Next, add the seasoned chicken breast.
You can use chicken thighs if you prefer, but I used what I had on hand.
Lastly, after the chicken is nice and brown, add the crushed tomatoes, a little broth and allow the sauce to simmer.
Add the butter beans and olives and that’s pretty much it folks!
Oh, don’t forget to add your fresh parsley at the end as well.
It’s always a good idea to finish off your dish with fresh herbs.
Our dish is all hot and ready and just waiting for me to dig in.
I served this with hot rice and a side of crusty bread.
You need the bread to dip into the sauce so you can savor all the flavor!
Enjoy.
