Notes
This recipe serves 6 and contains 2 net carbs per serving.
- I used chicken thighs for this stew, but you can use chicken drumsticks or mix and match both parts.
- When browning the chicken, do it in batches if you need to, but don’t overcrowd the pan.
- You can brown your chicken in the air fryer. Preheat to 390F and brown for 10 minutes on each side.
- If you add water when blending the tomatoes and peppers, pour the mix into a pot and let the excess water evaporate.
- The stew is quite spicy, even with just one habanero pepper. If it’s too spicy for you, use half a habanero pepper or use cayenne pepper instead.
- For an infusion of flavor, try making this turkey stew with fire-roasted tomatoes!
