Polish Chicken Stew

Not rated yetRate it

A classic chicken stew made from pre-cooked chicken, gently simmered in a smooth broth-based sauce with carrots, peas, and onion. This traditional dish is light, comforting, and perfect for using leftover chicken from homemade broth. Simple ingredients, mild flavor, and a creamy texture without cream make it a great everyday family meal.

  1. Steps

  2. Prepare the chicken.Remove the cooked meat from the bones and separate it into smaller pieces or shreds. Since the chicken is already boiled, it is ready to be heated in the sauce later.

  3. Cook the onion. Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it softens.

  4. Make the roux (zasmażka). Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mix well. Let it cook briefly to form a light roux. When flour start to bubble, roux is ready for next step.

  5. Pour the chicken broth in gradually, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth. On this point, if You think sauce is to watery, don't worry, rest of ingredients will make it more thick.

  6. Add shredded, cooked chicken, chopped, cooked carrots and canned peas.

  7. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper as preferred. Optional: sprinkle with parsley.

  8. Serve with rice, potatoes, pasta, or bread. My family preference-with rice. It is a prefect Polish dish for kids- they love taste and creaminess. ENJOY!

Cook’s note

This stew is prepared using already cooked chicken, for example meat left from making chicken broth. Best served with potatoes, rice, pasta, or grains. A great option for family meals and meal prep.
