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
- Begin by placing the chicken thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a flavorful base.
- Next, incorporate sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic for a nutritious medley.
- Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the veggies and chicken to infuse flavor.
- Carefully add the chicken broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged for even cooking.
- Lay the chopped cauliflower on top without stirring it in, allowing it to steam and soften atop the other components.
- 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.
- Use two forks to gently shred the chicken right in the pot, then stir everything together for a creamy delight.
- 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.
