Description
A comforting and creamy slow cooker chicken stew made with tender chicken breasts or thighs, hearty potatoes, carrots, celery, peas, and flavored with white wine, garlic, and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (about 1.5 lbs, cut into 1/2″ cubes)
- 1/2 lb yellow or white potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2″ chunks)
- 2 carrots (peeled and sliced into half moons)
- 1 celery stalk (finely chopped)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup peas
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cube the chicken breasts or thighs into 1/2 inch pieces. Peel and chop potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks, peel and slice carrots into half moons, finely chop celery and onion, and mince garlic cloves.
- In the slow cooker insert, toss the cubed chicken together with the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Add white wine, tomato paste, salt, and dried thyme. Pour in the chicken broth and place the bay leaves on top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, allowing flavors to meld and chicken to become tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with water until smooth to create a slurry.
- When the stew is done cooking, remove the bay leaves. Stir in the peas, heavy cream, and the corn starch slurry to thicken the stew. Continue to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the peas are warmed through and the stew slightly thickens.
