Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and started to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, and celery; saute for 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Add chicken thighs, garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir really well then add beef stock and rosemary. Bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer until chicken is very tender and no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. The mushrooms will give off lots of liquid during the simmering process to meld with the broth.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM STEW
This delicious chicken and mushroom stew is easy to make, flexible, and with layers of flavor it has a real comfort food richness but with a little zing! We do not add salt to this dish. We find it gets enough from the chicken stock and the soups and adding extra can overdo it. It can always be added to taste when you serve. We like it on brown rice or noodles but baked or mashed potato works well too.
