You can't use hot water for chicken stew. Overheated water will make the chicken fat. You need to stew it in cold water, add enough water at one time, and avoid adding water halfway. If the water is not enough, you can add a proper amount of hot water to cook it. Chicken soup usually takes a long time to stew. Only when the water temperature is kept warm and not boiling, can the nutrients in chicken be dissolved into chicken soup to the greatest extent. The stewed chicken is easy for the body to digest and absorb, and the meat is tender and delicious.
