Cooking Instructions

  • In a slow cooker insert, toss cubed chicken with potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Add white wine, tomato paste, salt and dried thyme. Pour over chicken broth and add bay leaves.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Combine corn starch with water in a small bowl. When stew is done cooking, remove bay leaves and add in peas, heavy cream and slurry. Stir to chicken and cook peas.

Notes

Make sure to cut the carrots and potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook in the same amount of time. If you prefer a thinner stew, you can skip the corn starch slurry completely.
