Ingredients

  • Tender 6-ounce cubes of hearty beef stew meat
  • Chopped pieces of half a large onion for flavor
  • Minced cloves of garlic to enhance taste
  • Freshly chopped large zucchini and yellow squash
  • Juicy, ripe tomatoes, diced for a burst of freshness
  • A hint of spiciness from a teaspoon of chili powder
  • Warmth from cumin, oregano, and Italian seasoning
  • A touch of heat with just half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • Cubed, cooked chicken breast for added protein
  • Three cups of comforting chicken broth
  • Creamy richness from two tablespoons of cream or milk
  • Half a package (10 ounces) of frozen corn for sweetness

Step 1

In a large pot, start by browning the beef on medium heat until all sides are nicely browned. Next, add in the onion, garlic, zucchini, squash, and tomatoes, and stir-cook this flavorful mix for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Now, it's time to introduce a burst of spices - chili powder, cumin, oregano, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the chicken, broth, and cream to create a rich base. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let it simmer gently for 2 hours to let all the flavors meld together beautifully.

Step 3

After the initial simmer, add in the corn, cover the pot once more, and slightly raise the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for another 45 minutes, allowing the corn to infuse its sweetness into the stew. If the stew thickens too much during this time, simply add a splash of water to adjust the consistency to your liking.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the art of meal prepping by chopping up your fresh vegetables and herbs in advance and storing them in airtight containers for easy access when it's time to cook.
  2. 2. Utilize mason jars to store homemade sauces, dressings, and spice mixes – not only will they keep your ingredients organized, but they'll also add a charming touch to your kitchen shelves.
