Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

Key Ingredients

Here’s what gives this hearty stew its comforting flavor and texture:

• Classic soup veggies like carrots, potatoes, and celery make this stew filling and familiar
• Fresh herbs infuse the broth with rustic flavors
• Boneless chicken cooks until tender and is easy cube or shred
• A simple broth base ties everything together with rich, savory depth
• Cornstarch helps thicken the stew slightly for a spoonable, satisfying finish.

Sarah’s Tips & Variations

• You can opt to shred the chicken instead of chopping it for a different texture.
• If you’re short on time, rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken works great—just stir it in toward the end of cooking.
• For extra flavor and texture, stir in peas, mushrooms, corn, or even a splash of cream during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Best Ways to Serve

Here is how to serve this hearty stew:

• Top your bowl with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of croutons or crushed crackers for extra richness and crunch.
• It also pairs well with a green salad such as a house salad or Caesar salad.
• Don’t forget the bread. Have some homemade biscuits or rolls for dipping and soaking up the remaining broth. This stew is also great with our slow cooker cornbread!
