Rating: 10/10
Servings: 6
Difficulty Level: Total time about 50 minutes, easy to prepare

4 cups unpeeled, cubed red potatoes
2 cups whole baby carrots
1 cup chopped red onion
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 tsp dried thyme
1-1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1 cup sliced green beans (I use frozen when in dire straits, it works)
1/2 cup dry white wine (I drink the rest with dinner : )
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups low-sodium, low-fat chicken broth
3 tbsp flour

1. Spray a roasting pan with non-stick spray. Combine potatoes, carrots, onions, vinegar, oil, garlic, 1 tsp each thyme and rosemary, tarragon, salt and pepper. Mix well. Roast, uncovered, at 425° for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Add green beans and roast 10 minutes more.

2. Meanwhile, pour wine and remaining thyme and rosemary into a large saucepan (I use a dutch oven). Bring to a boil, add chicken and reduce heat to med-high. Cook, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.

3. Add roasted veggies to chicken-wine mixture. Stir in 2-1/2 cups broth. Stir remaining broth and flour with a whisk until smooth. Incorporate into stew, cooking until bubbly and thick, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
