Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 tablespoon(s) (plus 1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) salt, divided, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
2 1/2 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
4 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 piece(s) bacon, chopped
1 2/3 cup(s) (1 14-ounce can) Guinness beer or other stout
1 pound(s) whole baby carrots, or large carrots cut into 1-inch pieces
1 package(s) (8-ounce) cremini or button mushrooms, halved if large
2 cup(s) chopped onion
4 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
1 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cup(s) frozen baby peas, thawed
Directions
Combine 6 tablespoons flour with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken thighs in the mixture to coat completely; transfer to a plate.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Reduce heat to medium and repeat with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and chicken thighs. Arrange the chicken in an even layer in the slow cooker.
Add bacon to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup flour over the bacon and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Add stout and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Add carrots, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and thyme, spreading in an even layer over the chicken. Pour broth over the top.
Cover and cook until the chicken is falling-apart tender, 4 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low.
Stir in peas, cover and cook until the peas are heated through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.

I'm giving this recipe 3 stars. The stew was okay, but nothing special. The stout flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter beer.

This recipe was a disaster! The stew was watery and bland. The chicken was dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This stew was a bit too rich for my taste. The stout overpowered the other flavors in the dish. I think I would have preferred a lighter beer or even just water.

Not bad! The stout gave the stew a nice dark color and a slightly bitter taste. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were cooked through. I would make this again, but I might use a different type of beer.

This was a delicious twist on the classic chicken stew. The stout added a nice richness to the broth and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's a great weeknight meal that can be made with pantry staples. The stout gives it a unique flavor that everyone loves.

This recipe was easy to follow and the stew turned out great! The stout added a nice depth of flavor to the dish. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
