One Pot Chicken Mushroom Stew

This chicken mushroom stew is rich, with tender pieces of chicken that simmer gently with mushrooms and sweet vegetables. The chicken stays incredibly juicy, especially if you boil the chicken first. The mushrooms add a warm, savory depth that makes every spoonful taste delicious.
