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.

This is similar to Brunswick Stew, but without the butter/lima beans and corn (which you can certainly add, if you like). :)

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups mushrooms, halved (I like crimini)
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!)
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, to taste
14 1/4 ounces chicken broth
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups frozen green peas or 2 cups frozen edamame soybeans
1 cup cubed extra firm tofu (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first 14 ingredients in an electric slow cooker.
  • Cover with lid and cook on high setting for 4 hours or until carrot is tender.
  • 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.
  • Re-cover and cook on high-heat setting an 30 additional minutes.
  • Serve with hot cooked rice.
  • Note: I don't eat much meat and prefer more vegetables, so I often add extra firm cubed tofu at the last 30 minute mark. Tasty! Also good with small new potatoes added at the beginning, which is another good way to stretch the recipe. :).

I like to sprinkle chicken stew with toasted almonds or cashews and serve with hot couscous. Flavored with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness from the apricots, this pretty dish will stand apart from the rest at potlucks, too! -Angela Buchanan, Longmont, Colorado
