Listen to me; you need this. Especially if you like leftovers, and not having to spend $5-15 on lunch at work. Because I don't know about you guys, but a lunch in midtown, Manhattan is upwards of $12. (Unless you get the dollar pizza which is gross and possibly unsanitary) Make a big pot of this stew on Sunday and you'll have it for half the week.

- 1 small pkg of whole or chopped white button mushrooms. In fact, add as many mushrooms as you want. Go crazy putting in all different kinds, as many as you have available. Add the whole forest; see if I care. shopping list
- I used a fistful of snowpeas, but in retrospect, celery would've been better. I wasn't even trying to go running back to the store. shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- 1/2 can (or about a cup) chicken stock shopping list
- 1 entire can of Campbell's Cream f Mushroom Soup (condensed) shopping list
- About 2 Tbsps of flour, in case gravy doesn't thicken shopping list

- 1 Tbsp dried Parsley shopping list
- Salt and white pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Heat the oil over medium flame, putting the chicken cubes and onion slices first. Let the onions soften and caramel while the chicken browns.
- You must babysit it at this stage, making sure nothing burns and the chicken cubes cook on all sides. Throw in the garlic at this stage too. Add some water or chicken stock to kick up the nice caramel it leaves stuck to the bottom of your skillet.
- Add the carrots, broccoli, mushrooms and whatever other veggies you wanna throw in there. Mix well and let that simmer for a few minutes. When you feel like it, pour the chicken stock in, add the seasoning packet, the salt, white pepper and parsley.
- Mix well, cover it up, lower the flame, walk away and go finish your candy crush game, you shameless addicts. lol
- After that's had some time to simmer, (and you'll notice a volume difference to the dish too) about 15-18 minutes, it's time to add the soup.
- The rubber spatula is your friend!!!! No, really, guys. I love those things. Use 'em, they make your life so much easier. Just plop all that mushroom creamy goodness right in there with the chicken and veggies. Make the flame a bit higher if you want, but make sure it's all mixed in.
- If the gravy isn't thick enough for you, that's why the gods made flour. Take a separate bowl and a fork. Mix about 1/4 cup of cool water with about twice as much flour. (Use cold water, people. Hot water + flour = glue) Beat the daylights out of this mixture with the fork to get all the lumps out. Then move all the chicken and veggies to the sides and drizzle the flour mixture into the liquid part of your dish, little bits at a time, beating constantly. You still may gets lumps, it happens. Beat up the gravy, not yourself because it'll still be delicious.
- Let the stew cook for a bit longer, maybe 3-5 minutes until all is blended. You may taste it with a separate spoon if you want to see what it needs. Just don't put the spoon back in if you're making this for other folks cos that's nasty.
- Cut the heat, serve hot over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes for optimum yummehness.
- It makes amazeballs leftovers to take to work the next day, or to have when you get home. Happy nomming!
