A hearty and flavorful chicken stew made in a slow cooker for an easy, hands-off meal.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 potatoes, cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken thighs, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and potatoes in the slow cooker.
  2. Add chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  4. If a thicker stew is desired, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the stew. Let it cook uncovered for another 15 minutes.

  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the broth and cornstarch are gluten-free certified.
  • Add frozen peas or green beans in the last 30 minutes for extra vegetables.
