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.

SLOW COOKED CHICKEN STEW



Slow Cooked Chicken Stew image

Slow cookers are so great for those times when you want a fuss-free dinner. You can literally throw everything in it and leave it all day so you have a lovely wholesome meal waiting for you at dinner time. We left this stew in the slow cooker for 8 hours on a low heat but if you want it ready bit sooner than that, you can turn the heat up to medium and it should be ready in about 4 hours.

2 cups water
1 cup frozen small whole onions (or 3/4 cup chopped onion)
1 cup celery, sliced, 1/2 inch slices
1 1/2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon paprika (make sure to use good quality paprika for full flavor!)

14 1/4 ounces chicken broth
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth or 1/2 cup vegetable broth

  • Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended.
  • Add cornstarch mixture and frozen peas or edamame (and tofu, if using) to the slow cooker, stir well.
