Chicken Stew

I have gained a reputation for making the spiciest curries in the history of mankind. I couldn't think of having people over again before I fixed that. Hence, Stew. Also, it's one of my grandma's best dishes. She made the best mutton stew. Going back to fixing my reputation - no chillies of any kind were adding in the making of this Chicken Stew.
