Grandmother's Chicken Stew

When I was a child, I would go to my grandmother and when asked why she would make me food, I would shout "chicken stew"! I really liked to eat it with bread and enjoy the meal.

I couldn't pick up the recipe from my grandmother and that taste still lingered in my mind and mind - but so it was that on a visit to my mother-in-law's this summer I was served such food and they immediately woke me up again. senses and memories. Of course I was only eyes and ears on the recipe, I remade it and put it on the site, for my future nieces / nephews, not to be lost in history.
