Ingredients
- 1 3 lb chicken, cut into 1 inch bite sized pieces (you can also use chicken thigh)
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 5 cups water
- 4 large red potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 4 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 3 15.8 oz cans of Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions
- Season chicken with fish sauce, shallot, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Add oil to a large heavy bottomed pot and saute seasoned chicken on high heat
- Add tomato paste to the chicken and continue to cook until the tomato paste has caramelized
- Add water and bring back to a boil
- When water is boiling, add carrots
- Add potatoes once the carrots are just starting to get tender
- Once potatoes are and carrots are tender, add drained beans and simmer for 5-6 minutes until beans have absorbed some of the broth
- Serve immediately or, for best results, chill and reheat. Serve with rice or sliced baguettes.

Notes
- This stew can be served immediately, but tastes best when it is cooled and reheated. I love dipping a crusty baguette into the broth. It also tastes great spooned over a hot bowl of rice.
