Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 russet potatoes peeled and diced

Seasonings

  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • ¾ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Cut the chicken into ½" pieces, then season it with salt and pepper. Add it to a skillet with the olive oil and cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to your slow cooker.
  • Add the carrots, onion, garlic, potatoes, coconut aminos, salt, oregano, rosemary, and bay leaf to the slow cooker, then pour in the chicken broth. Place a lid on top, then cook the stew on LOW for 6 hours.
  • Once the 6 hours is almost up, whisk the milk and cornstarch together in a bowl, then pour the mixture into your slow cooker and give everything a good stir. Place the lid back on and cook the stew on HIGH for 30-45 more minutes, allowing time for it to thicken.
  • Season with black pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Calories are per serving and are an estimation; can use chicken breast instead of thighs; can use any variety of potatoes; can use soy sauce/tamari instead of coconut aminos; can use any kind of milk or even use half milk and half heavy cream if you want it to be extra creamy; can use arrowroot instead of cornstarch. After cooling, store in a sealed container for up to 4 days, or pour into freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Reheat over the stove; may need to add more broth/milk as it thickens in the refrigerator.
