Leftover chicken, bean and asparagus stew
Background
When you roast a chicken or barbecue too many chicken legs, the leftovers can be used for quick and easy meals during the week. For example, this leftover chicken, bean and asparagus stew is on the table within 10 minutes. You can serve it with rice, couscous, pasta, boiled/mashed potatoes or just fresh, crusty bread.
