- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 1 rib celery diced
- 1 cup frozen corn thawed
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 3 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup frozen green beans thawed
-
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook just until onion is slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
-
Transfer to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and corn. Top with the whole (uncooked) chicken breasts.
-
Sprinkle with poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the broth, cover and cook on HIGH 3 to 4 hours or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
-
In a small bowl, combine the cream and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth. Add the cream mixture, chicken, and green beans to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes or until thickened.
- Store leftover slow cooker chicken stew in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- For freezing, use flour instead of cornstarch for better texture, freeze up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
