Meat - Potato stew with chicken wings by Leana L. - Recipia

Recently, I've been returning to a simple potato stew with chicken wings. It's the kind of dish you make when you want something warm without spending too much time at the stove, yet still with that clear homemade taste. I use what I have on hand – usually wings, some seasonal vegetables, and always a bit of fresh parsley at the end. Quick Info Total Time: about 45-50 minutes Preparation Time: 10-15 minutes Cooking Time: 30-35 minutes Servings: 2-3 Difficulty: easy Recipe Type: everyday meal, lunch or dinner Ingredients 300 g potatoes (peeled) 8 chicken wings 1 carrot 1 red bell pepper 1 bunch of green onions 100 ml tomato juice 250 ml chicken broth Salt, to taste 1 bunch of finely chopped parsley or dill Preparation Method 1. Clean the wings and pat them dry with a paper towel. Brown them in a pot over medium heat without adding any liquid. When they are slightly browned on all sides, remove them to a plate. 2. In the fat left from the meat, add the chopped vegetables: the carrot in rounds, the bell pepper in cubes, and the green onions in rounds. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until they soften slightly. 3. Return the wings to the pot, then pour the chicken broth over everything. Add the potatoes, cut into suitable cubes, into the pot as well. 4. Everything is simmered over moderate heat with a lid until the potatoes are soft. This usually takes about 20 minutes, but it's good to check them after 15 minutes. 5. When the potatoes are almost done, add salt to taste and the tomato juice. Continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes without the lid to reduce the liquid and thicken the sauce. 6. Finally, remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle finely chopped greens, parsley or dill, according to preference. Why I Make This Recipe Often It’s one of the quickest cooking options when I don’t have much time. It’s filling, doesn’t require expensive or hard-to-find ingredients, and I don’t end up with a lot of dishes to wash. Plus, you can adapt it based on what you have in the fridge. Tips and Variations Tips If the chicken broth isn’t already salty, be sure to adjust the taste at the end after adding the tomato juice. The potatoes should be of a variety that doesn’t fall apart easily to maintain their shape. If you want a thicker sauce, leave the pot uncovered in the last minutes. Substitutions Green onions can be replaced with regular onion, finely chopped. Parsley can be swapped for dill for a more intense flavor. If you don’t have chicken broth, use water, although the taste will be a bit simpler. Variations You can add a few slices of garlic along with the vegetables for a slightly different flavor. Wings can be replaced with thighs or breast pieces, but wings provide the most flavor. If you want the dish spicier, you can add a bit of fresh chili pepper to the vegetables. Serving Ideas It’s good on its own, warm, straight from the pot. It can be complemented with a spoonful of sour cream, if desired, or with fresh bread. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use another part of the chicken instead of wings? Yes, you can use thighs, breast, or even drumsticks. Just adjust the cooking times slightly, especially for larger pieces. 2. What do I do if I don’t have chicken broth? You can use water, but the dish will be a bit less flavorful. You can also add a pinch of spices or dried vegetables for extra flavor. 3. Is it necessary to add tomato juice? It’s not mandatory, but tomato juice adds color and binds the sauce. If you don’t have it, you can do without it, but the stew will be less “bound.” 4. What type of potatoes is best for this recipe? Ideally, you want potatoes that remain firm when boiled. Those for salad or soup, not for mash. 5. Can I make the recipe vegan without meat? Yes, just remove the meat and use water or vegetable broth. Increase the amount of vegetables a bit. Nutritional Values Estimate for one serving (out of a total of 3): approximately 250 kcal. Proteins: 16-18 g Carbohydrates: 28-30 g Fats: 7-10 g These values are approximate and may vary depending on how fatty the wings are and the exact amount of potatoes. Storage and Reheating It stores well in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a bit of water if the sauce has thickened too much. It’s best fresh, but it doesn’t lose its flavor even after reheating. I don’t recommend freezing – the potatoes don’t have a good texture after thawing.
