Ingredients

For the Stew:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Chicken
    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for several minutes on each side until nicely browned. This step builds deeper flavor before slow cooking. Remove from heat.
  2. Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
    Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker. Add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, cubed potatoes, minced garlic, and bay leaves.
  3. Season the Mixture
    Sprinkle in the dried thyme along with salt and pepper. Stir gently so the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the vegetables and chicken.
  4. Add Broth and Tomato Paste
    Stir the tomato paste into the chicken broth, then pour the mixture over everything in the slow cooker. For a heartier texture, sprinkle in the flour and stir well to combine.
  5. Slow Cook
    Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours. The extended cooking time allows the chicken to become tender and the flavors to fully develop.
  6. Finish and Serve
    Once done, remove the bay leaves. Ladle the stew into bowls and top with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
