Italian Stew!

My new favorite comfort food is Italian Chicken Stew!  Another great dinner at the Daniel's house makes leaving Raleigh that much harder!  Laurie made this recipe her own with numerous changes! She would not share her secrets but said the base is from Giada De Laurentiis.  This stew is super healthy as well!  Flavor building in a dutch oven at its finest, starting with fresh thyme, bayleaves and NC Farmers Market veggies sauteed in EVOO! 
Herbs from Laurie and Gary's back yard oasis!
I also must confess I am addicted to the North Carolina honey based salad dressing that Laurie calls "just a vinaigrette"!  It is so divine!   W.G. White and Co. is known for their country ham but their honey is the highlight this time!   W.G. White and Co. has been in Mocksville North Carolina since 1924!  The ingredients Laurie mixes in the measuring cup with the honey are lemon, extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar for acidity and a little fresh OJ!  Salt and peppar to taste!  Summer love!
Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!
