A hearty and comforting slow-cooked chicken stew loaded with nutritious vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by searing the chicken in a hot skillet until golden brown to enhance the stew’s overall richness.
  2. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker. Add in the diced carrots, celery, onion, cubed potatoes, minced garlic, and bay leaves.
  3. Season the mixture with thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients. If using flour for thickening, whisk it with some broth first or simply sprinkle it onto the ingredients and stir well.
  5. Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  6. After cooking, remove the bay leaves, taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Consider adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
