This Japanese Cream Stew recipe (クリームシチュー) from scratch comes together from a handful of common ingredients in about 30 minutes, which makes it a delicious weeknight meal on a cold winter day. With big pieces of tender chicken, potatoes, and carrots smothered in a creamy sauce, it’s a comforting stew that’s a popular home cooked meal in Japan. That’s probably why it often shows up in anime and manga like The Secret World of Arrietty, Charlotte, Log Horizon, Goblin Slayer, and Case Closed (Detective Conan), to name just a few.
I also have a few tricks to show you to speed things up without skimping on taste, and you have any leftovers, this makes for a delicious pot pie filling.
