Does anyone have a good recipe for chicken stew?!

Answers: I prefer not to use canned vegetables, soups or broths. I want something from scratch. Also, I don't want to use chicken breasts or thighs. I prefer the meat from a wing or leg.

Homemade Chicken Stew
6 chicken legs, skin removed
2 qts water
salt and pepper
1 onion, quartered
2 sage leaves or 2 tsp. ground sage
In heavy pot, combine ingredients and simmer until meat is falling off of bones. Remove meat and bones to a large bowl and allow to cool until you're able to handle the meat. Allow broth to cool in refrigerator, then skim fat and strain broth and set aside. Reserve meat, and remove any remaining meat from bones. Chop or tear meat into bite sized pieces.
1 tbsp. oil or chicken fat
1 onion, diced
1 cup celery, sliced (3-4 stalks)
6 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
(optional: diced green or red pepper, diced tomato, sliced parsnips, etc. your choice of other veggies cut into small pieces)
reserved chicken broth, brought to room temperature
3 tbsp. flour
In heavy bottomed pan, heat oil or fat.. When oil/fat is hot, add onion and celery, cook until moisture is released. Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stirring to keep it cooking but not burning. Cook 2-3 minutes, then add chicken broth. Add remaining vegetables and chicken to pot. Simmer on medium-low 2 hours. Sprinkle with parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
CHICKEN STEW
1.5 lbs cooked chicken (no bones)
1 can chicken broth
1 can vegetable broth
3 cans of water
2 tbsp oil
6 potatoes, chunks
2 stalks celery chopped
1 onion chopped
green beans
yellow beans
carrots
cabbage
peas
corn
In a large pot, sauté the celery and onion in oil until soft. Add broths, chicken and water (use chicken broth can to measure 3 cans of water). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer.
Add potatoes. Let simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Add vegetables; any favorite will do, frozen or fresh.
Simmer an additional 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Serve hot!! with fresh French stick bread.
Corn starch can be added as a thickener, but if you use extra potatoes and lots of vegetables it doesn't really need thickening.
Enjoy!

this is an ole recipe that was taught to me a few yrs back, never wrote down as learnt by cooking it over and over. so here goes....
ingrediants:
chicken thigh/legs (amount would be down to you and how much meat you want in the stew)
6 lge potatoes. diced
10 fesh carrots. chopped
1 lge onion . sliced
1 lge parsnip (tast required for them )
garden peas (amount as reqiured)
ample of water
pearl barley (to help thicken)
suet mix (also to help thicken)
chicken stock cubes *6
salt ( a decent shake)
pepper ( a 1/4 the amount of salt)
method..
start off by boiling water in a lge stewing pot, allow to simmer. add the chicken to it, and simmer for about an hour. as the meat is cooking a froth may form on the top of the water, just scoop out and add more water as required.
next add all the vegetables to the stewing pot with the chicken and carefully stir as not to disturb the chicken. also add the chicken stock cubes, crumbling them and ensuring they are mixed through. you will now need to add the pearl barley, about a cup full should do it, you can always add more if required. keep the pot simmering over the heat for at leats another hour. add the salt and pepper. and then add a cup of suet.
always ensure you have enough water in ya pot and never over boil it. and remember one thing, you cant go wrong with stew, you can always add more of anything you feel needs more of, just do the taste test and your taste buds will let ya know the rest.why not make some dumplings to go with, making usre you cook them in the stew though, you can make those by buying that dumpling mix, quick and easy to. good luck, and i hope my recipe helped, sorry its not set out the exact way, but like i said, this is something that was shown and never wriiten dwon. :)
If you want to try something a bit different from traditional Western chicken stew, with Asian spices & seasonings
1 chicken, cut in pieces

4 potatoes, quartered
3 carrots, chunked
2 tomatoes, quartered
1 red onion, quartered
4 shallots (small purple onions), finely minced
1 cinnamon stick
3 star anise
2 cloves
1.5 tsp salt
2 tbl sugar
3 cups water
3 tbl vegetable oil
2 tbl corn starch / cornflour
pinch of ground white pepper
1. Marinate the chicken in dark soy sauce & pepper for 30 mins.
2. Add the oil to deep pan & heat till it starts to smoke.
3. Stir fry shallots until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and fry for a few minutes.
4. Add potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, onion, cinnamon stick, star anise & cloves.
5. Add water, until it just covers all the ingredients.
6. Bring to a boil and then simmer gently until chicken is tender. Add sugar & salt, to taste.
7. Mix cornstarch with a little water so it forms a smooth paste. Add this to the stew while stirring, to thicken the gravy. Cook for a few minutes more. Serve with rice or pasta.
i suggest you get a sack of leg quarters , boil them , add water boil down a few times til you have a nice broth , strain , separate the meat , add your choice of veggies to a crock pot or reg pot + cook the veggies in the broth w/ the meat , add your fav sesonings , just dont put to much broth in there at the last or you'll have something more like a soup , you may even bake it at the end , maybe add some dumplings or thick noodles , gnocchi etc.
