Chicken Stew Recipe With Butternut Squash

By

This chicken stew recipe with butternut squash is perfect for an autumn or winter dinner.

The spices come to the forefront with nutmeg and sage enhancing the flavors of both the squash and chicken. This is a wonderful meal prep dish as it will freeze very well for up to 6 months.

This soup has a nice balance of flavor and good nutrition. Navy beans have the highest fiber count of any bean, and there is enough chicken to give you plenty of protein for dinner. This would be lovely served with a green salad and some crusty garlic bread. The leftovers are just as good, so you can take some for lunch the next day as well.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN STEW
The process for this recipe is two simple steps. Sautéing the vegetables and herbs, and then combining everything and simmering it in a large soup pot. You could technically just dump everything into a soup pot and boil it until it’s done. But you miss out on much of the flavor if you don’t sauté things first. Skipping the sautéing process could leave you with a much blander soup. So bust out that skillet!

This will last in the fridge up to 4 days and will freeze best if frozen in single servings. You can technically freeze everything in one big batch, but that will make defrosting a big pain. Yes, that’s personal experience talking. Trust me.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev
