Chicken stew with quince
Description
Meat for stew is usually prepared in a cauldron or a heavy-bottomed pot. But thanks to modern technology, my deep non-stick frying pan handled the task perfectly. Chicken meat is lightly seared until golden brown, so that all the meat juices remain inside, then simmered with spices. The chicken should not become overcooked, but remain tender and juicy. And when fragrant quince is added, an ordinary stew turns into a sophisticated dish. See the step-by-step recipe below.
