For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. It makes a world of difference!
Don't overcrowd the pot when browning the chicken; work in batches if necessary.
If the ragout becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
Serve this dish with creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or your favorite pasta.
