Vegetarian Version: Swap out the chicken for extra vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms. You can also add beans or lentils for extra protein. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a fully vegetarian stew.
Spicy Amish Golden Stew: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to give your stew a little kick. You can also stir in a tablespoon of hot sauce during the simmering stage for a more subtle heat.
Slow Cooker Version: For an even easier version, you can make this stew in a slow cooker. Place all the ingredients except for the dairy and corn into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add the milk/cream and corn in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
FAQ:
1. Can I use other meats in Amish Golden Stew? Yes! While chicken is the most common meat in this dish, you can also use turkey, pork, or even beef. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time to ensure the meat is tender.
2. Can I make Amish Golden Stew ahead of time? Absolutely! This stew actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld together. Prepare it the night before and reheat when ready to serve.
3. How do I make the stew creamier? For a creamier consistency, you can use heavy cream instead of milk. Additionally, adding more flour to thicken the stew will create a richer texture.
4. Can I substitute fresh corn for frozen corn? Yes, fresh corn on the cob works well in this stew. Simply cut the kernels off the cob and add them in during the last 5-7 minutes of simmering, just like you would with frozen corn.
5. Can I freeze Amish Golden Stew? Yes, Amish Golden Stew freezes very well. After it has cooled, place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Be sure to leave some space at the top of the container to allow for expansion.
