A light, stomach-friendly chicken and potato stew featuring a restorative, anti-bloat broth made with fresh ginger, lemon, and mint.

If you are looking for the perfect companion to your soft homemade sourdough bread that won't leave you feeling bloated, this Soothing Lemon-Ginger Chicken Stew is the ultimate comfort food. Unlike heavy tomato-based dishes or bean-heavy stews that can cause stomach discomfort, this light and nourishing meal relies on stomach-soothing ingredients like fresh ginger, mint, and lemon. The tender pieces of chicken breast, soft potatoes, and sweet carrots simmer gently in a fragrant, restorative broth enhanced by your chicken stock powder. Because your homemade sourdough bread has a wonderfully soft crust, it becomes the ideal sponge to soak up all this golden broth without scratching the roof of your mouth. It is a cozy, feel-good dish that leaves you perfectly satisfied and energized!

Ingredients

  • 300 g Chicken Breast (about 2 small breasts)
  • 1 medium Potato
  • 2 medium Carrots
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Chicken Stock Powder
  • 0.5 medium Lemon
  • 1 handful Fresh Mint
  • 1 handful Fresh Coriander

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1: Peel and dice the potato and carrots into small, bite-sized pieces. Cut the chicken breast into chunks. Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the minced fresh ginger and sauté for about 1 minute until highly fragrant.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Add the chicken breast chunks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the outside is lightly browned.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Stir in the potato, carrots, and chicken stock powder. Pour in enough water to just cover the ingredients (about 2 to 3 cups).
  5. 5
    Step 5: Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potato and carrots are completely tender.
  6. 6
    Step 6: Remove the pot from the heat. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the broth.
  7. 7
    Step 7: Stir in the fresh mint and fresh coriander right before serving so they keep their vibrant color and digestive benefits. Serve warm in a deep bowl, using your soft sourdough bread to soak up the healing broth!

Chef's Tips

  • To make the broth slightly thicker without dairy, use a fork to mash one or two pieces of the cooked potato against the side of the pot and stir it back into the liquid.
  • Keep the ginger and mint fresh, as they contain the natural oils that actively help soothe the stomach and prevent bloating.
