Warm up with a winter chicken stew
Nothing beats a homemade supper on a cold, winter evening, so why not take your mind off the weather with a warming, winter stew?
With your Christmas leftovers now devoured, we asked fully trained nutritional therapist, Anne Cross, for an alternative winter recipe.
Anne, who offers nutritional therapy at YourGP in Edinburgh, has plumped for a delicious winter chicken stew to keep you warm on these chilly winter nights.
Recipe
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 45 – 50 minutes
- Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1.4l hot chicken stock
- 1 large potato, finely grated
- 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaf
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 x 850g family packs skinless chicken thighs (count the number in the pack – you need 16 in total)
- 6 carrots, halved lengthways and cut into chunks
- 2 parsnips, halved lengthways and cut into chunks
- 3 leeks, well washed and thickly sliced
- sweet potato mash and green veg to serve
Method
- Heat the oil in your largest pan – an extra-large wok with a lid is ideal.
- Fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes until soft, then pour in the stock and stir in the potato and herbs.
- Add the chicken and bring to the boil.
- Stir in the carrots, parsnips and leeks, then cover the pan and leave to simmer on a low heat for 40-45 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the chicken is tender.
- Serve with sweet potato mash and green veg
The final step, of course, is to share your sumptuous stew with your family and friends.

I had been at this practice since late 2018. The staff have been nothing but amazing! The care given here has to be the best care I’ve ever received at any practice. Very polite, greeted with a smile and always made sure you were comfortable.
The response times are extremely quick, always on that day or early next morning, pointing you into the right direction. Even if they were unable to assist, they would always make sure you knew where to go and what to do.
Your appointments are always accommodated to your needs, some imes I was unable to make my routine appointments in person so they would happily offer a Skype call which made things easier as I live a few hours away, but was always happy to make the trip when I could as it was always a pleasant experience.
I cannot thank this practice enough for the help that they gave me, I now feel confident and comfortable with myself and I would definitely recommend their services!
