Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 large potato (or sweet potato), peeled and chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup green peas
• Salt to taste
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 chicken breast, cleaned and chopped (or thighs)
• ½ teaspoon thyme powder
• ¼ teaspoon basil powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:

In your slow cooker (I used my 6-quart slow cooker), add potatoes, carrots, salt, black pepper, garlic, chicken broth, bay leaves, chicken, thyme and basil and stir. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

Once the vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked, mix cornstarch with ½ cup water and add in the slow cooker. Also add green peas.

Cover and cook on high for 15-30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Enjoy with fresh dinner rolls or rice!
