Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken instead of whole chicken?
Yes, you can use boneless chicken pieces. Adjust the cooking time, as boneless chicken typically cooks faster. Simmer for about 30-40 minutes instead of 1 hour.
How should I store leftover stewed chicken?
Allow the stewed chicken to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
What can I substitute for tomatoes if I don’t have any?
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes or tomato paste as an alternative. If using tomato paste, you may need to dilute it with some water for the right consistency.
