Do you have some leftover antipasto or salsa from your last entertaining? This is for you. Give your chicken stew a flavour lift. I used the usual common seasonings but then I topped it up with the prepared antipasto. The vegetarian antipasto contained a great variety of vegetables and seasonings. It is an easy way to add more flavour to the stew.
