    Lemon Mint Garlic Chicken Stew is a tangy aromatic one-pot meal. Easy to make and full of flavors that will tickle your taste buds, it’s sure to be a big hit with the family!

    This is sure to be on your monthly menu rotation once you try it!

    The tender tangy juicy chicken will get your mouth watering before you even taste it!

    Mint Chicken

    Stews are usually most popular in colder seasons. Especially since in winter our bodies crave warmth and a fuller feeling achieves this. Lemon Mint Garlic Chicken Stew is totally satisfying, especially with its thicker stew.

    But, this particular stew is great year round. Sure it has that warm hearty feel to it, but it’s ingredients feel just as great in warmer days. The tanginess of the juice in the stew and the coolness of the mint give it a summery vibe!


    Why I Love This Stew

    There are plenty of reasons why I enjoy this stew. First of all, I love dishing out what my family loves. This is one of my husband’s favorite stews and I learned it from my mother-in-law.

    I tweaked it up here and there a bit to fit our preferences, and my husband loves it just the same.

    It’s also a favorite for my kids and it excites me to see them eating healthy and hearty. Anything that brings my family happiness, makes me happy.

    Another reason I love making this stew is because it’s one of those one-pot meals that doesn’t require a dish load of equipment to make.

    It’s also very easy to make even though it looks like a lot goes into it. It’s really just all about the preparation.

    If you prepare in an organized fashion, you’ll find yourself enjoying your stew in no time! So any stew that can be cooked and plated in an hour or less is an A+ in my meal plan!

    Finally, the combination of ingredients is the perfect balance between refreshing, hearty, and zesty. Chicken and potatoes are always an amazing couple together!

    The tangy zest of the lemon contrasted with the mint will WOW your taste buds!

    Serving the Stew

    Since the stew is made in one pot, you can serve it directly from the pot. But, we all know it’s so much better when you serve it plated up nicely. There are a few great side dishes you can serve this on or with, including:

    • A bed of white rice with vermicelli
    • Next to Basmati or Jasmine rice
    • Over your favorite pasta
    • With a crispy green Mediterranean salad
    • Any salad of your choice

    Tips for a Delicious Lemon Mint Garlic Chicken Stew

    • You can use any part of the chicken you’re in the mood for. It works great with chicken still on the bone because it gives the broth a little more flavor and thickness.
    • But, you can opt to use boneless chicken breast or thigh and tweak flavors to your liking.
    • If you want to kick up flavors a notch or two, you can add fresh mint right over your plate. You could also roast your garlic ahead of time and add it to the stew for more flavor.
    • Don’t have enough lemons or want it extra tangy? You can add half a teaspoon of citric acid!

      This soup was so good and versatile. Great for warm and cold weather. Comforting and hearty with rice for winter time but the fresh taste of mint and lemon also makes it great for summer time.
