Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1.5 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add chicken, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  3. Remove the chicken, shred or chop, then return it to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese until well combined.
  5. For a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the stew. Cook on high for another 20–30 minutes until thickened.
  6. Adjust seasoning to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.

Notes

Yukon gold or russet potatoes hold up best in slow cooking.Use coconut milk and omit the parmesan for a dairy-free version.Add frozen peas or spinach in the last 30 minutes for extra nutrients.This stew thickens as it cools; add extra broth when reheating if needed.Leftovers freeze well and are great for meal prep.
