Cooking Instructions

  • Place chicken on a cutting board, dice into 1-inch pieces, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, warm the olive oil, add the chicken, and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned on all sides. You don’t need to cook the chicken all the way through, simply sear it in the juices before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Once the chicken is seared, place it in the slow cooker, add flour, thyme, rosemary, and salt, and stir until the chicken is well coated in the flour and herbs.
  • Add the garlic, onion, carrots, and potatoes to the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Then pour in the broth and add the bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

This stew is a perfect comfort food to warm you up on cold nights.
