How to Make Quick And Creamy Chicken Stew Paleo Friendly

  1. Cut 4 chicken leg quarters into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 8-10 minutes), removing and setting aside as they brown.
  4. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 carrots (chopped) to the pot and cook in the remaining chicken fat until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Return the chicken to the pot. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced).
  7. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is about halfway submerged.
  8. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the chicken from the pot. Remove the bones and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas, 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut cream, and 2 green onions (chopped).
  11. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve hot and enjoy!
