Skinny Slow Cooker – Chicken Stew
This homestyle Chicken Stew started by browning the chicken in a Stovetop Slow Cooker. It’s super easy to add the oil to the slow cooker insert and brown the chicken on any stove top, including electric, gas or ceramic. Â Next, saute the onion and garlic. Â The clean up is a breeze since there’s no additional skillets needed. Â Add the other ingredients, place the insert back in the slow cooker, turn it to low and dinner will be waiting in 6 to 8 hours.

How many servings is this recipe?
sounds good BUT HOW MANY servings???
Jackie, 4 servings.
Amazingly good! I didn't have peas so added frozen green beans and corn and loved the extra crunch
Sounds like a good substitute!
I love this one! So many great recipes on this site and so easy to make!
On the dinner menu for tonight – yummo!
Hi, what if I just want to make ONE chicken breast (probably a 200 gram chicken breast). So if I divide the recipe by 4…how long in the slow cooker?? Thnks.
I made this today and it was great. I substituted sweet potatoes for the regular potatoes and used green beans instead of peas. My husband loved it too!
Lynda, Great! I’m trying the sweet potatoes. Thanks for the tip!
