Chicken Mulligan Stew uses up leftovers and pantry items for a heartwarming meal in a bowl.

Chicken Mulligan Stew Recipe

 

Mulligan stew is a hearty dish made of whatever is on hand. It usually contains meat or poultry, potatoes, and vegetables in practically any combination you can think of. This chicken mulligan stew is a spur-of-the-moment creation made from a fridge and cupboard raid. The ingredient list looks long, but most should be in your pantry or freezer and the stew goes together quickly. It looks delicious and tastes even better.

It goes without saying that this recipe is infinitely variable, so use whatever veggies you have on hand. I had a couple of chicken breasts to use up, but you can use rotisserie chicken if you have it. The chicken, potatoes, and peas are added last so they don’t fall apart as the harder veggies cook.

In a large soup-pot, gently saute celery, carrots, and onion in the butter about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, water, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, parsley, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil, while stirring to combine.

Add cannelini beans, tomatoes, bacon bits, ditalini pasta, and converted rice. Return to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until pasta, rice, and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Add potatoes, peas, and chicken. Return to a boil, then lower heat and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Serve with crusty bread.

Refrigerate and leftover chicken mulligan stew and use within 5 days. The stew is even better the next day, so feel free to make this dish in advance and gently reheat.

Yield: 8 to 10 hearty servings
