“Farm-fresh cream gave old-fashioned chicken stews a wonderful richness. This version uses half-and-half to cut the fat while keeping the luscious flavor.“

Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 pounds), cut up
4 cups water, divided
2 teaspoons dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt

4 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices

Remove and discard skin from chicken; rinse and pat dry. Place chicken pieces in a Dutch oven; add 3-1/2 cups water, dill, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes and parsnips. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken and vegetables to a large bowl; keep warm. Bring cooking juices to a boil. In a small bowl, combine flour, cream and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into juices. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over chicken and vegetables.

This recipe came together easily and was hearty and satisfying . I thought it needed a bit more salt and pepper though, as the seasoning was a bit bland for my taste.
