Oven Chicken Stew

Dean's grandmother made the best chicken stew.  I can remember calling her one afternoon on my way home from work and jotting the recipe down on the back of an envelope.  I know super safe during a Houston commute, but at least I wasn't texting and driving.  I did attempt her recipe a few times, but it was time consuming and honestly, it just couldn't compare to Ma Dot's.  So, I figured I better not mess with the original, so I searched for my own version.  I gave this one a try, and although not as good as the original, it still makes for a yummy hot meal.  It's a bit semi-homemade and a lot of super easy.

Ingredients:
boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 soup can of chicken broth
stalk of celery, chopped
bell pepper, chopped
onion, chopped
1 tablespoon of dry roux

Directions:
Season chicken.  I use Season-All, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper.  Put the chicken in the bottom of a deep ovenproof dish.  Pour remaining ingredients over the chicken.  Cover and back at 350 for 1-1/2 hours.  Serve over rice.  Um... easy.
