Tomato Basil Chicken Stew


(Recipe can be found on the site Gimme Some Oven here.)
Step by Step Instructions:


Tomato Basil Chicken Stew makes a perfect week night meal. Here’s what you’ll need: Black Pepper, 3 cups of Shredded Chicken, Fresh Spinach (you’ll need about 2 handfuls), Olive Oil, Red Pepper Flakes, 1 can of Cannelini beans, a small Onion diced, 4 cloves of Garlic, 2 28-ounce cans of whole tomatoes, 2 diced Carrots, 2 diced Celery Stalks, 1/4 cup of fresh Basil, and Salt.


Grab a large pot and heat it over medium-heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.


Once the oil is hot, add the carrots, onions and celery to the pan. I also seasoned them with salt and pepper too. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 7 minutes until the onions are translucent.


Once the onions are fairly translucent, add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and stir for about a minute or until you can smell the garlic in the pan.


Next add the 2 cans of tomatoes (juice included) to the pot and use a spoon or a potato masher to crush the tomatoes so they are in bite-sized pieces.


Be sure you rinse and drain the beans to remove all of that excess sodium.


Then add the 2 handfuls of fresh spinach, 3 cups of shredded chicken, rinsed and drained beans, 1/4 cup of basil leaves torn up, and salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to the pot.


Stir the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.


Once the stew is boiling…


…cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium low to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes.


Once the soup is finished simmering, taste it and add any salt and pepper as needed. Stir up the soup and serve it immediately. You can then top each bowl with freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy! Happy simmering!

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes (with their juices)
1 (14 oz.) can cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 handfuls baby spinach
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh basil
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping soup)

Preparation Instructions:
1. Once the veggies are chopped and the chicken is shredded, grab a large pot and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and once it’s hot, stir in the onions, carrots, and celery. Saute and stir for 7 minutes until the onions are translucent.

2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and stir for about a minute. Once you can smell the garlic in the pot, you’re good to move on.

3. Then add the 2 cans of whole tomatoes and juice. Use a spoon or potato masher to mash up the tomatoes so they are bite-sized.

4. Add the cannelini beans, chicken, 2 handfuls of baby spinach, fresh basil which you can roughly chop or tear with your hands, plus salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.

5. Combine the mixture and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, partially cover the pot and turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Then serve and top with greshly grated Parmesan cheese if you choose.

I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
♥️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
