Chicken Stew With Boiled Macaroni And A Side Of PawPaw. I cooked this meal in 25 minutes. That is
because I already had preserved tomato at home.
because I already had preserved tomato at home.
For the macaroni, from when I added it to boiling water, to when I turned off the heat,
it took 12 minutes. I still think that some types take longer to cook.
The stew cooked so fast, perhaps, it’s because of the soft chicken.
I didn’t want it to cook or simmer for too long because, the meat will start to disintegrate
from the bones. Hard chicken may take longer to cook.

I said earlier on this blog that smoked cat fish is my secret ingredient to great taste in soups and porridges.
That the only dish I do not cook with smoked cat fish is my tomato stew. Here, I decide to go against my self and try it. Well, my little 5 year old who doesn’t like macaroni much, asked for more, cleared her plate and requested again for more.
Enjoy your chicken stew. This stew, I can serve it with boiled rice, boiled unripe plantain, boiled yam and even dodo.
