Chicken Stew

This was really good and creamy, and believe it or not it is not that high calorie about 200 calories a bowl. If you care about calories which I don't I served this with biscuits on the side. You can serve the bicuits with stew ladled over the top or on the side with butter and jam.

Adapted from Barefoot Contessa, Foodnetwork

2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1.5 onions, chopped

3 cups carrots, sliced(about 4 carrots)

½ cup butter, one stick

½ cup of flour

5 cups of chicken broth

¼ cup of half and half

10-12 oz. frozen peas

salt,pepper, parsley to taste

Melt the butter in a large pot. Add onions and carrots and cook for about 10 min. Then add flour and mix together. Cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and let simmer for a few minutes until thickened add the frozen peas and half and half. Simmer until vegetables are tender season with Salt, Pepper, and parsley.

Last night we combined this with biscuits and a green salad with fresh spinach, lettuce, raw beets, tomatoes. It got a thumbs up from everyone including my sisters family.
