The priority is to unload the wings: which means lower the G load on the wings because the stall speed increases with higher G loads and reduces with lower G loads until reaching 0 with 0 G. So an aircraft can stall at any speed really, it all depends on the G factor it is subjected to. That's why when you stall the first thing you should do is to lower the nose which means lower the AOA which means unload the wings which means reduce the actual stall speed which means get it as far as possible from your actual speed. The added power is used to reduce the loss of altitude during recovery which can be life saving if you are close to the ground. adding power on a below wing engine aircraft like the B737 can be dangerous because of the pitching moment the sudden add of thrust can generate which can make you stall again.
