This Chicken stew is crazy delicious. Before you put this Easy Chicken Stew into sick food category, let me tell you how healthy and delicious it is. Instead of following the normal method of slow cooking, I browned onion, garlic and chicken. All the caramelized bits from onion and chicken gives a deep flavour to the stew.  It is so good that you will want to have this Homemade Stew all through the winter.

Ingredients For making Chicken Stew in Crock Pot

With Boneless chicken thighs, tender vegetables this Stew with wholesome ingredients and quite filling. The ingredients can be prepared in a matter of 10 minutes.

  • Chicken- I have used Boneless Chicken thighs in this recipe. You can also use Chicken Brest here. To prep, the chicken, cut any excess fat and cut into medium-sized pieces. I prefer adding a few bone-in chickens for the broth to be more flavourful.
  • Vegetables– You can use a range of vegetables like Potatoes, carrot, beans, peas. Cut tougher vegetables like potatoes and carrots to medium size pieces. Because the vegetables are going to be cooked slowly for a good amount of time, the veggies will be tender at the end.

  • Aromatics– Onion and garlic are being caramelized in oil before adding it to the Crockpot for more depth of flavour. Searing chicken and caramelizing it before slow cooking also helps to add more flavour.  There are very fewer spices used in the stew and the flavours are very subtle.
  • To Thicken the Stew – When all the vegetables get cooked, it starts to thicken the stew. I have added coconut milk towards the end to make it more creamy, rich but not very heavy. You can also add half and half instead of Coconut Milk.

How To Make Chicken Stew On Stovetop?

You can make the chicken stew in one pot on the stovetop, instead of the crockpot. Use a heavy bottom soup pot or a dutch oven to make it.  First fry onion, garlic and then add chicken to it. Sear chicken until brown bit appears and then add rest of the ingredients(except coconut milk). Let it cook slowly for 30-45 minutes until vegetables are cooked and tender.
