Chicken & Green Bean Pot Stew

Written by Published on Updated on May 25, 2019 in Main dishes

Hi everyone!!! After yesterday’s Clean Monday or Ash Monday and a day of fasting, I am back with another Chicken recipe. 🙂  Fasting usually last for about 40 some odds days, which is way to long of time  at least for me that is, so  what I usually do is fast the last week before Easter. I think most people do that know, busy schedule and fasting a bit difficult.  If  your in the mood to eat something different give this recipe a try, you just might like it.  🙂

My husband is a fan of Green beans, me not so much, but before I say NO to something I like to try it out first, I have actually tried to eat them a few times in the past, but it was a no go.   I gave it one more try again today just in case my tastebuds have changed aaaand NO they have not..:), so I can officially say I am not a fan of Green Beans.  

Since, I do love Chicken this recipe has the combination of both worlds, and the taste is  just superb (Chicken of course is). 🙂  With the addition of fresh tomatoes and herbs simmering together just makes you want to eat it all at once.  Adding a side dish of Feta cheese, drizzled with Olive Oil, topped with fresh Oregano, dipping  that fresh slice of bread into the sauce AWWW!! what more can I say.  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
