Smokey Chicken Stew
For frugal cooking that’s packed with flavour, this hearty and substantial soup has a gentle heat and gets its wonderful smokey flavours from our BBQ Sauce. It’s a great way to transform your leftover chicken from a Sunday roast.
This recipe uses leftover shredded roast chicken, but would work equally well with finely chopped chicken breast, just add it in whilst you’re cooking the vegetables before adding the stock.
