2cupsfrozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, green beans, lima beans)
1tablespoonapple cider vinegar
1teaspoonsugar

½teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
⅛teaspoonhot pepper sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat it with the flour mixture.
Place the bacon in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until crisp. Remove the bacon and drain it on paper towels and set it aside. Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly browned 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the celery, onion and bell pepper to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and broth, scraping up any flour and other brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the chicken, mixed vegetables, vinegar, sugar, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce. Crumble the bacon and stir it in too.
Bring the stew up to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the vegetables are very tender and the stew has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it. Taste and add more salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce as desired.
