  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Mince chives.

  2. 2

    Start the Stew

    Pat chicken dry. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  3. 3

    Finish the Stew

    Add butter to hot pan and stir occasionally until melted, 30-60 seconds.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains, 30-60 seconds.

    Add 1/2 cup water and chicken base. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add 1/4 tsp. salt, half the chives (reserve remaining for garnish), and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine and reduce heat to medium-low.

    Stir occasionally until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While stew cooks, continue recipe.
