Old Man Winter sure is not letting up! We woke up to a wintry morning after having the loveliest, bright, sunshine filled weekend. Thank God, Ro-Taro drove home on Saturday and not today. This is a late snow storm and hopefully, the last of the season. The snow is still falling and 5 more inches are expected tonight. It will make for a very difficult commute to work and school on Tuesday morning. Perhaps, it will be a snow day and everyone can stay home. That would be really nice, wouldn’t it?

Chicken and Fennel Stew for the Cold Weather

Since the weather is still cold out there, stews are still very much an “in” thing at our house. Come to think of it, stews are always welcomed at our house. They are so comforting and go really well with rice. I like to add lots of vegetables to the stew so that it becomes a complete one-pot meal perfect for week nights.

Not all stews need to be cooked for hours, especially if boneless and skinless chicken is used. This Chicken and Fennel Stew is a relatively quick one to prepare. A it delicious and comforting one-pot wonder with protein and vegetables. Both the carrots and fennel are tender but not falling apart. The fennel lends a delicious sweetness and aroma to the stew.

    We were just up north and lake superior is frozen! And people are posting about spring…. anyway fennel and chicken might give me the strength to push on!

      Nice place to visit. Not surprising that the Lake Superior is still frozen. It will take a while for that huge lake to thaw. March is always tough as we are all quite tired of winter by now. Hopefully the stew helps. 🙂

    Cooked this dish about 10 days ago and it was absolutely delicious. Fennel was on sale at the market and I bought 2 bulbs without any idea or inspiration on what to do with them. The stew was delicious and easy to make. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe, Biren.
