TIPS

1. If you have leftovers or want to save the chicken for another day, let it cool completely and store the chicken in the refrigerator in a properly airtight container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms).

2. Suggestion: If you have leftovers or want to save the chicken for later, heat the recipe in the microwave to avoid drying out the chicken and sauce.

3. If you prefer, you can season the chicken with fresh parsley or thyme sprigs instead of chopped coriander.

4. For juicy, tender chicken, cook the stew over low heat.
