Ingredients:

8 chicken thighs
550g
4 strips bacon
50g
8 cups broccoli
730g
1.50 cup cheddar cheese
170g
1.50 cup heavy whipping cream
360g
2 cups chicken broth
480g
1/4 tsp garlic powder
0.78g
1/4 tsp onion powder
0.60g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the bacon into small chunks.
- Cut broccoli into florets if not already done.
- Shred the cheddar cheese.
2. Cook Bacon:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
3. Cook Chicken:
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pot with the bacon fat.
- Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
4. Prepare the Broccoli:
- In the same pot, add the broccoli florets.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the broccoli for about 5 minutes, until it is tender but still bright green.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the pot with the broccoli.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Stir to combine.
6. Simmer and Season:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the stew has thickened slightly.
- Season the stew with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
7. Add Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined into the stew.
8. Serve:
- Once the cheese is melted and the stew is creamy, give it one final stir.
- Ladle the hot stew into bowls and enjoy!

Tips:

- For an extra crispy texture, cook the bacon separately before adding it to the stew.

- Steam the broccoli lightly before adding it to ensure it retains its vibrant color and crunch.

- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for a smoother melt and richer flavor.

- To enhance the flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs.

- Taste the stew before adding extra salt and pepper, as the bacon and cheese can add a significant amount of saltiness to the dish.
