Stew update

[ellarien]

Well, that ended up with more stew than I expected, but it didn't make a mess. Three medium/small potatoes, one long skinny carrot, four mushrooms, one small zucchini and one yellow squash, about a quarter each of a large red and a large green bell pepper; three-quarters of a largish yellow onion, three large chicken breasts and the last two tenderloins from the previous bag. Liquid was about a cup of soup, beaten up with a similar amount of water and random spices (paprika, black pepper, powdered oregano, basil, and warmed in the microwave. Chicken defrosted, then cut into bite-sized bits and pre-fried with the chopped onion. Then I decided it wasn't all going to fit in the 2.5 quart dish, so I quickly rescued the next-smallest one from the dishwasher, washed it, and used that for most of the meat/onions with a few veggies and a bit of the liquid. It all went in the oven at what the dial said was 300 and my thermometer said was more like 375, and was nicely done after about an hour. Yield, six tasty servings. Unfortunately, I'm now short of containers for the next batch, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
