Chicken Stew in a Bread Bowl

"I got the idea for this recipe from a book called Cook Milk in any flavour you like. Mine is similar but with many modifications. I use store bought bread bowls, however I have noticed bread bowl recipes on this site. The other option is to serve it with dumplings"

  1. I followed the recipe exactly and turns out the stew was very thick. What’s the reason? Is the 2 cups of water too less? Thanks!
     
  2. I loved my colleges chicken stew and have been craving it for almsot 3 years! I used left over chicken instead of a whole chickena nd halved the recipe because its just my husband and I. Instead of water I used chicken broth. YUMMY
     
  3. Wonderful, warm, comfort food for a cold WI winter! I used leftover chicken with 2 cups of the reserved drippings (and roasted garlic). I added one more cup of water. Added green onions and some salt. Very easy to make. Served some of it in an round Italian bread bowl that the kids devoured too. Thanks Chef. Will definitely make again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi, I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party. Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family. My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them. FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
