Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or lower calorie spray oil)
- 2 carrots, chopped

- 12 ounces Pale Ale
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasonings
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt to taste
Cooking Directions
- Heat a large grill pan to medium heat and add olive oil (or coat with spray oil).
- Season chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons Cajun seasonings and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Sear the chicken breasts about 2 minutes per side to brown. Remove from heat and chop.

- Heat to medium heat and cook 3.5-4 hours, or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
- Salt to taste and serve!
NOTE: This version of the stew has a thinner broth consistency, which is more like a soup. If you'd like it a bit thicker, include a couple of small chopped potatoes. The starches will help thicken up the broth.
