FAQ:
Q: Can I make Amish Golden Stew in advance? A: Yes! In fact, this stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld. Make it the night before and refrigerate it overnight. Just reheat on the stove when you're ready to serve.
Q: Can I use a slow cooker for this recipe? A: Absolutely! To adapt this recipe for a slow cooker, brown the chicken and sauté the onions and garlic first. Then, add everything (except the cream and flour) to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Stir in the cream and corn during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Q: Can I substitute the heavy cream for something lighter? A: Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, though the stew will be less creamy. To maintain a similar texture, you might need to add a little more flour or cornstarch to thicken the broth.
Q: Is this recipe gluten-free? A: If you omit the flour or use a gluten-free flour alternative, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free. Just make sure your chicken broth and other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
