Mama's Red Chicken Stew

This is Mama's Recipe for Red Chicken Stew. It's a very simple recipe with not a lot of instruction. It's basically written the way Mama would have told you to make it. It's a hearty meal that will go a long way. Great for cold, rainy nights like tonight... here anyway. This is a large batch recipe. You can break it down into a few chicken breasts, and 1/2 the rest of the ingredients. 




Red Chicken Stew

1 Chicken 
4 slices Bacon
3 large Onions
14 oz Ketchup
4 T Worcestershire Sauce
¼ t Red Pepper
1 t Black Pepper
¼ pound Butter
½ cup Flour
½ cup Water
4 Hard Boiled Eggs*

Cook chicken in 3 cups water. Debone and chop. 
Chop bacon and fry. Add onion slices and cook til tender. Add seasonings, butter...add 3 cups stock. ** Make paste with flour and water. Add. Cook until creamy. Add chicken and eggs.

 * Slice the eggs and lay them out on a few paper towels to dry out a little. That way the eggs won't fall apart in the stew.

This time, I was out of eggs...


 ** Use the water from the chicken for stock or use 3 cups of pre-made chicken stock. This day and age, I use stock
