Equipment

Ingredients

1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 ounces each) cut into chunks
2 slices center cut bacon
2 stalks celery, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 onion, chopped or sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped or sliced
1 can (14 to 15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas, green beans, lima beans)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon hot 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.

I made this batch of Weight Watchers Chicken Brunswick stew on the stove top. Next time I’m going to try my slow cooker.

I'll cook the bacon and then toss it and everything else into the slow cooker, cooking on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
