Description

This creamy chicken stew envelops you with warmth and a sense of belonging, perfect for cozy nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cauliflower, chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by placing the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a flavorful base.
  2. Next, incorporate sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic for a nutritious medley.
  3. Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the veggies and chicken to infuse flavor.
  4. Carefully add the chicken broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged for even cooking.
  5. Lay the chopped cauliflower on top without stirring it in, allowing it to steam and soften atop the other components.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  7. Use two forks to gently shred the chicken right in the pot, then stir everything together for a creamy delight.
  8. Adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm with crusty bread or tortillas for dipping.

Notes

For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream just before serving.
