Chicken and Olive Stew

Chicken and Green Olive Stew

Whoever said soups and stews are best served on cold nights is missing out on year round comfort. Nothing beats a warm bowl of hearty deliciousness after a long day. It’s not only comforting – it’s relaxing. The steaming bowl, inhaling the aromas, blowing a spoonful to cool the soup off to have a much anticipated taste. Ahhhhh. Almost as relaxing as drawing a steamy hot bubble bath.

Chicken and Green Olive Stew

Here’s an oldie but goodie!  I’ve been making this forever – it’s hearty, simple and delicious. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated – just basic flavors that create a soulful stew when combined. This stew will love and welcome any ingredients you decide to add – even better when they’re fresh. I love adding fresh tomatoes, spinach, herbs from my garden or even a scant cupful of white beans.  If you like it, throw it in!

As for olives, I prefer to use green olives marinated in olive oil, garlic and herbs.  I usually buy these, but there just as easy to throw together and marinate a day or two ahead of time.

My wine selection – I only cook with what I drink.  I love a good red wine and drink a Shiraz or Syrah 99% of the time.

This dinner is complete with a salad, some crusty bread for dipping and a big glass of your favorite red wine.  Hope you enjoy…stay warm – or cool…XOXOX
