Directions
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic to get everything ready for the pot.
- Rinse the turnips and mushrooms; dice the turnips and slice the mushrooms.
- In a medium saucepan, start heating over medium-high heat and prepare to brown the chicken.
- Cut the chicken into medium pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Add a thin layer of oil to the pan, then brown the chicken briefly until lightly browned; transfer to a plate.
- Into the same pan, add a bit more oil and cook the onion, garlic, turnip, and mushrooms until the onion softens, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the chicken back to the pan with rosemary, spinach, and broth; season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the turnips are tender, about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mince the remaining garlic and mix with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread this oil over both cut sides of the bread halves and place them on a baking sheet.
- Broil the bread halves on the top rack until the edges are golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with the garlic bread on the side.
Two tips
- Prep the onion and garlic ahead of time to speed up weeknight cooking.
- If you don’t have a specific bread, use any bun or roll and brush with the garlic oil or olive oil before toasting.
