2 ½ pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped

  • Cook on Low for 7 hours, gently stirring every few hours if desired.
  • Use tongs to remove chicken from the stew. Let cool. Separate skin and bones from the meat and shred meat. Stir meat back into the slow cooker.

  • Choose the Right Vegetables: Select firm, fresh vegetables that will hold their shape during cooking. Avoid vegetables that are too delicate, as they may become mushy.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew will give it a delicious golden color and help to develop its flavor.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Simmer, Don't Boil: Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the vegetables to become tender.
  • Season to Taste: Once the stew is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches your desired flavor.
