Watery chicken stew got you down? Don't ditch it yet! It might be from overdoing the broth or using watery veggies like zucchini. To fix it, simmer without the lid to let some liquid evaporate, or whip up a cornstarch slurry to thicken things up. Soon you'll be back on track to enjoying a delicious stew!

No worries! If your chicken stew is too watery, try simmering it longer to reduce the liquid. Adding a bit of cornstarch mixed with water can also help thicken it up.

I think adding flour or cornstarch mixed with cold water can thicken the stew quickly, though make sure to stir it in gradually to avoid lumps!

If your chicken stew turned out too watery, it might be because there was too much added liquid initially or the stew wasn't cooked down enough to thicken. To fix it, you can try simmering uncovered to evaporate excess liquid , or thickening with a slurry of cornstarch and water if needed. Adjusting seasonings and adding more ingredients like potatoes or beans can also help absorb excess liquid and enhance flavor.
