Time 7h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 carrots, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (5 or 6)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
20 frozen cheese-filled mini pierogi (from one 12-ounce package)
2/3 cup frozen peas
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Put the carrots and celery in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Top with the chicken; sprinkle with the garlic, red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk the broth with the flour in a medium bowl until smooth; pour over the chicken. Cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pierogi and cook as the label directs. Drain.
  • Uncover the slow cooker and stir, breaking up the chicken. Add the pierogi, peas and heavy cream and stir. Let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in the dill; season with salt and pepper.
