Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts fat trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 ½ cups yellow onion diced
5 carrots cut into bite sized pieces
1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes
3 celery sticks chopped
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon tomato paste
4 teaspoons garlic minced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
½ cup milk
¼ cup cornstarch
1 ¼ cups frozen peas

Instructions

Add chicken, onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery to the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic, poultry seasoning, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Whisk until well combined and pour over chicken and vegetables. Then place bay leaves on top.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk milk and cornstarch together until there are no lumps. Add cornstarch slurry and peas into the slow cooker. Cook for 20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Remove bay leaves and stir before serving.

Notes

Prep Ahead: Dice all your vegetables ahead of time, cut the fat off the chicken, and mix up the cooking liquid. This way all you need to do is add everything to the Crock Pot and plug it in!

Sear the Chicken. If you have the time, lightly brown all sides of the diced chicken in a pan with olive oil before adding to the slow cooker. This extra step adds some color to the chicken and will lock in the moisture of the breasts.

Meal Prep: This stew is easy to freeze and reheat so I highly recommend making extras if you can. The flavors in this stew get better over time and become more packed with spice the longer wait!
