Tomato Basil Chicken Stew

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: About 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 small white onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks of celery, diced
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes (with their juices)
• 1 (14 oz.) can cannelinni beans
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 2 handfuls baby spinach
• ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh basil
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. black pepper
• ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Method

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery. Saute for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute or two until fragrant.

Add in remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Use a long spoon to crush the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer partially-covered for 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serve with freshly-grated Parmesan cheese.
