SLOW COOKER CHICKEN STEW

Slow Cooker Chicken Stew image

A savory autumn stew with apple, red potatoes, onion and seasoning. This is a very easy tasty chicken dish I concocted when I was trying to think of a dish like pot roast yet using chicken rather than beef. My husband hates mushrooms, so I tried condensed celery soup, and it works great. This dish is light yet very zesty and full of flavor. You can substitute using chicken thighs, but it will increase calories and fat. I think using biscuit gravy mix rather than onion gravy mix would work (the flavor would go well with chicken), adding richness, although I haven't tried it that way yet, but again, it would add more fat and calories to this dish. Serve with a side of rice or over noodles.

RUSTIC CHICKEN STEW

Rustic Chicken Stew image

A rich and hearty stew that will warm you up on the cold days. It is easy to put together with ingredients that you usually have on hand. If you prefer to have your veggies cut a little smaller, that works too - just watch that they do not overcook. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can do most of the prep as the stew is cooking. The chicken thighs and mushrooms add a great meaty texture. Try this with some crusty bread.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

5 cups chicken broth
2 dried bay leaves
1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless skinless
1 1/2 cups carrots, large dice
2 cups russet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1 cubes (peel them if you prefer)
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups onions, coarsely chopped
1 cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups button mushrooms (halved or quartered)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley (2 tablespoons fresh chopped)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup milk (or 1/4 cup cream)
1 cup frozen cut green beans, thawed
salt and pepper

Steps:

In a large saucepan, bring broth to a low simmer and add bay leaves and chicken thighs. Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and coarsely chop when cool enough to handle. While chicken is cooling, add carrots and potatoes to broth. Add chicken when chopped.
Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick frying pan. Add onion, celery and mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in thyme, parsley, and flour. Stir until flour is absorbed and add mixture to broth.
Simmer stew for 15 to 20 minutes or until your potatoes and carrots are almost cooked to your preference. Add beans and milk or cream and let heat for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and serve!

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: For a slow-cooker stew, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best. The bones and skin add flavor to the stew, and the meat will stay moist and tender during the long cooking time.
Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, or in the slow cooker itself on the sauté setting.
Use a variety of vegetables: The best slow-cooker chicken stews are packed with vegetables. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as zucchini, squash, or beans.
Season the stew well: Don't be afraid to season your stew generously. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all good choices. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
Cook the stew on low: Slow-cooker stews are best when cooked on low for at least 6-8 hours. This allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker chicken stew is a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little planning, you can have a hearty and flavorful stew that the whole family will love.
