Cooking with Cammy

So the other day I made some DELICIOUS chicken stew. It was amazing I had to share it with everyone. For those who can't cook this is perfect and easy.

Ingredients:
  • 10 chicken drumsticks.
  • 4 stalks of celery
  • 8 organic carrots
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 Vidalia Onion
  • 1 bag of red potatoes
  • 2 bell peppers [1 red and 1 green for color]
  • 1 small bag of brown rice
  • 2 boxes of chicken broth
Spices:
  • Rosemary
  • Chili Powder
  • Curry
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Season Salt
  • Pepper
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Salt
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
Tools:
  • 1 Large pot
  • 1 skillet
  • 1 knife
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 pair of tongs
  • 1 Large Bowl
Make sure you prep everything before you start cooking meaning: have your vegetables chopped and sliced before doing anything. The onions, carrots, bell peppers, and celery can all be roughly chopped. Not too chunky but not too thin.

  1. Heat up the skillet as well as the pot. A small half-inch slice of butter in each. Remember keep the heat low!
  2. Season the chicken drumsticks in the bowl with all the spices. Make sure to use your hands and toss the chicken [like you would a salad] to ensure the seasoning covers as much as possible. Use small handfuls of each seasoning. DON'T OVER DO IT!
  3. Place the drumsticks in the skill [you wont be able to fit all of them in at once]. Turn the heat up a little bit
  4. As the chicken cooks, throw the vegetables in the big pot. Let them soften before adding the chicken broth. To the broth add a few shakes of season salt, pepper, and curry.
  5. As the chicken browns put it inside the pot. Once all the drumsticks are done let them simmer in the pot.
  6. Add the rice last inside the pot. Now leave the pot alone, clean up your mess, and let everything come together.
  7. Check the pot approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes later.


There you go! Fresh chicken stew! Yummy!
