How long can food keep in a regular freezer?

Last August or September, I made some chicken-leek stew, and froze the leftovers. In the process of cleaning out the freezer today, I excavated two containers of it. Should I dump it?

I'd probably dump it because I usually dump freezer stuff that old, but otoh I was just reading a thing a couple days ago that talked about being able to store higher-fat meat in a freezer for a year without worrying, and lower-fat meat for six months easily. I'd assume chicken stew went on the lower-fat end of that, but it's really probably fine. :)
