Ingredients Needed:

• Potatoes:I like using Yukon gold potatoes in this stew. Baby white potatoes or Russet potatoes would work well too.if they have a smooth skin then no need to peel!
• Vegetables:a classic combination of carrots, celery, and onion will provide a great savory base for this stew.
• Seasoning:freshly minced garlic, salt, dried parsley, dried thyme, black pepper, and my bay leaf
• Chicken:I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
• Broth:chicken broth will add a great depth of flavor. You can use vegetable broth if you prefer it.
• Corn Starch:this will help thicken the stew as it cooks.
• Peas:frozen peas will work well here for a fresh flavor, add in before serving.

Crockpot Chicken Stew Variations

• Cream.Swap the last ½ cup of broth for heavy cream for a luxuriously creamy crockpot chicken stew.
• Veggies.Stew is one of those forgiving recipes that can have a lot of flexibility to it. You can use pretty much anything you have in your refrigerator, but remember to add veggies in at the right time. Those that take longer to cook (parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots) need added in at the start, but those that take less time (peas, green beans, sweetcorn) you can add in at the end.
• Stovetop.You can make this chicken stew on the stovetop as well if you prefer. See myOne Pot Chicken Stewrecipe for more info.
• Add flavor. Add an extra pop of flavor to your stew with some Worcestershire sauce or dijon mustard.
