Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into ½" cubes
  • ½ lb yellow or white potatoes, peeled and cut into ½" chunks
  • 2 units carrots, peeled and sliced into half moons
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups chicken broth, low sodium
  • 2 units bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

  • ½ cup peas
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

Preparation and Cooking

  • In a slow cooker insert, toss cubed chicken with potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Add white wine, tomato paste, salt and dried thyme. Pour over chicken broth and add bay leaves.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Combine corn starch with water in a small bowl. When stew is done cooking, remove bay leaves and add in peas, heavy cream and slurry. Stir to combine and cook peas.

Notes

Make sure to cut the carrots and potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook in the same amount of time. If you prefer a thinner stew, you can skip the corn starch slurry completely.
