Notes

Smoked beef can be substituted with bacon if desired. Feel free to use different types of mushrooms for varied flavor profiles. For meal prep, this stew stores well in the fridge for up to three days and freezes well for longer storage. Consider marinating the chicken beforehand for added flavor. Serve in individual skillets for a rustic presentation and garnish with fresh herbs for color. Enjoy your comforting, hearty meal!
