Description

A warm and comforting chicken stew simmered with fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs, perfect for cool weather.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup frozen peas (added in the last 30 minutes)


Instructions

  1. Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Chop the vegetables and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Layer the chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
  3. Sprinkle in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the top, ensuring everything is submerged.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. If using frozen peas, add them for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Once done, shred the chicken if desired and stir everything together before serving.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a hearty meal. This dish freezes well, so consider making a double batch!
