To Stew Chicken

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut into pieces, place in stew pan with giblets. Pour 1 pint boiling water over it, cover and cook 15 minutes. Put a tablespoon butter and flour together, add gradually to the water in the chicken. Cook until tender. Serve with a sauce made from the liquor, add mushrooms, celery and giblets, or use only giblet sauce. Tomatoes make a nice sauce. Dumplings can be used if desired.
