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. 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. 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.
