Alabama chicken stew with natural potato thickening for a rich and comforting meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken
  • 2 large bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, or more to taste
  • 1.5 gallons water
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes and their juices
  • 10 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 large carrots, diced
  • 4 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
Instructions:
  • Add the chicken, bay leaves, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of pepper to a large stockpot, then fill with water and bring to a boil. Simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, approximately 2 hours. Use a thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) near the bone.
  • After cooking, let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes. Remove and discard the skin and bones, then shred the meat.
  • Pour canned tomatoes and all their juices into a casserole dish, then crush the tomatoes by hand.
  • Combine the shredded chicken, crushed tomatoes and juices, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and corn in the stockpot. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the stew thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
