Title: Hearty Chicken and Vegetable Stew: A Cozy, Nutritious Meal

Serving: This stew is perfect on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a little extra broth if necessary.
Variants:

Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño for a bit of heat.
Add Greens: For extra nutrition, stir in some chopped spinach or kale during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Swap the Meat: Use chicken breast instead of thighs for a leaner option, or substitute the chicken with turkey for a holiday twist.
FAQ:

Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn can be used in place of fresh ones. Just add them in during the last few minutes of cooking.

Yes, this stew freezes well. Let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
