What's a good side dish to go with chicken stew?!
Can you suggest something else?
Answers: I got a recipe for chicken stew from someone on Y/A the other day, but I am looking for a side dish or something to go with it. My husband is a meat and potatoes guy but he will definitely be looking for something else to go with it. He doesn't care for vegetables so I don't think a green salad will work. But that may be my old alternative.
Can you suggest something else?
A salad would be good but also a good loaf of bread, wheat bread is great with soup.
cornbread or a cornbread dressing....
Warm yeast rolls, biscuits or crusty bread.
Sweet peas.
Biscuits! You definately don't need a side veggie, and I personally don't care for salad w/soup or stew. Make something good for desert too!
I always see stew as a bit of a single main event type meal. It has your meats and your sides all rolled into one. Or the meat and potatoes for your guy as it were.
I think simplicity is best on this one, just go get yourself a nice fresh loaf of bread and slice it up as a companion to the meal and for dipping.
Serve the stew in a bread bowl. He can eat the bowl as he eats the stew. Other than salad or fruit on the side, since all your veggies are in the stew, can't think of anything else other than the bread bowl or some form of bread (cornbread, biscuits) on the side. Give him a custard dish of mixed nuts and cranraisins to top off his meal.
Maybe some, Chili. Beefy men love chili!
Chicken stew is great with Bisquick dumplings on top. See link for easy recipe. The dumplings make the stew a one dish meal-nothing else needed.
Easy Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

2 teaspoons CALUMET Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, cut up
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese
Spread
DIRECTIONS:
1. PREHEAT oven to 450 degrees F. Mix flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Cheddar cheese. Add milk; stir until mixture forms soft dough.
2. PLACE on lightly floured surface; knead eight to 10 times or until smooth. Pat out dough into 6-inch square. Cut into nine squares. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
3. BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Spread each split warm biscuit with 2-1/2 tsp. of the cream cheese spread.
the only thing i would use is crusty garlic bread or maybe dumplings.
salad and home made bread. a stew is supposed to be a one pot meal, without sides.
how about 5 bean salad, or baked beans, or tomato, fresh basil, salt & pepper, onion, and olive oil salad.
or jalapeno cornbread muffins.
Paula Dean's garlic cheese biscuits are easy and the best would go great along with a nice jello salad!
