Why It Works
The combination of chicken, mushrooms, and rosemary creates a complex and flavorful broth.
Searing the chicken before adding it to the stew helps to develop a rich, golden-brown color.
The addition of fresh rosemary adds a bright and herbaceous flavor to the stew.
Simmering the stew for 20 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
