Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Instructions

  • If using frozen chicken, ensure it’s fully thawed. Trim any excess fat from the breasts.
  • Dice your potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into small, even pieces.
  • Place the chopped onions, carrots, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, add the chicken breasts on top followed by the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients.
  • Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours based on your schedule.
  • During the last hour of cooking, check if the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be at least 165°F). Shred the chicken with two forks and stir back into the stew for added texture.
  • Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then enjoy your warm, hearty meal.
