Healthier Chicken & Vegetable Stew

Healthier Chicken & Vegetable Stew

Perfect for the lighter days of spring, this stew combines hearty textures with light, healthy ingredients. It features lean chicken, known for its high protein content beneficial for muscle repair and bone health, and a mix of fibre-rich vegetables like carrots and celery. By incorporating AquaTru purified water or a homemade stock using this purified water, the natural flavours of the ingredients are accentuated without interference from tap water impurities. With minimal oil and no heavy creams, this stew remains a healthful choice that doesn’t sacrifice taste for nutrition.
