Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
- ½ tsp. salt, divided
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 large turnips (about 1 pound), peeled (see Tip) and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz. sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp. fresh chopped rosemary
- 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 3 Tbsp. water
Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot. Add turnips, mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is limp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in kale, broth and rosemary. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the turnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the stew and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and season the stew with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Notes
Be sure to peel turnips well to remove all the thick skin before cooking. To peel, cut off one end to create a flat surface so you can keep it steady on the cutting board. Follow the contour of the vegetable with your knife to remove the skin. Or, if you use a vegetable peeler, peel around the root about three times to remove all the fibrous skin.
