Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Add the cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Add the diced potatoes and onion to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and translucent. (5 minutes)
04
Step
Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the diced green chiles, zucchini, carrots, salt, and garlic salt. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. (1 hour)
06
Step
Stir in the drained corn and continue to simmer until heated through. (10 minutes)
07
Step
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with warm tortillas, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of cilantro, if desired.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Roasting the green chiles yourself adds a wonderful smoky depth to the stew. If using canned, be sure to drain them well.
Adjust the amount of green chiles to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more as needed.
This stew is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
