Tips for the Best Crockpot Chicken Stew Recipe

• Chicken Broth: We used low-sodium chicken broth to make this soup. We liked how it took away some of the salty taste, but you can use what you have.
• Sour Cream: We suggest using sour cream with full fat when making this recipe. It tastes better and has a better creamy texture.
• Chicken: We like chunks in our stew, so we cut up the chicken before putting it in the crock pot. We try to keep the size about the same as the potatoes and carrots.
• Frozen Chicken: If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I usually put my chicken in frozen. I use thawed chicken in this case. We like this stew to be creamy, so we put chicken that has been thawed out in this slow cooker.
• Instant Pot: You can also make this dish in your Instant Pot. My family’s lives have been changed by the Instant Pot.
• Cooking Soup: Slow cooking is best for this stew. We like that it cooks slowly so that everything gets done at the same time.

Variations :

• Potatoes: In this recipe, we used red potatoes. You can also choose gold potatoes or russet potatoes.
• Carrots: Baby carrots are great because they don’t need to be peeled. But I usually cut them in half before I add them. If you want, you can use fresh carrots instead. Just make sure to cut them about the same size so they cook evenly.
• Vegetables: In this recipe, we used carrots, green beans, and potatoes. But you’re welcome to add your own.

Note: This meal is very budget-friendly, as the recipe only calls for 2 chicken breasts. The potatoes, carrots, and other ingredients help to stretch this delectable meal. Chicken thighs can easily be substituted for the chicken breasts. We’ve even combined the two and found it to be delicious.

Using a crock pot to stew chicken is a great way to get tender, flavorful meat with little work. Slow cooking lets the flavors of the food blend together, making a tasty meal that will satisfy your taste buds.
