A Delicious Recipe for Easy Homemade Slow Cooker Chicken Stew!

Hey cousins, I have this amazing comforting homemade slow cooker chicken stew recipe that I want to share with you that is absolutely perfect during the fall and winter months. This homemade chicken stew will stick to your bones, leave you satisfied, and best of all, it’s a slow cooker meal! Did I also mention that this chicken stew recipe is budget-friendly? Well now that I’ve put the cards on the table, let’s get into the kitchen and make my slow cooker chicken stew!

Okay y’all, for this chicken stew recipe, I’ll be using boneless skinless chicken thighs. You can certainly swipe them out for bone-in chicken thighs with skin, chicken breast, or even a whole chicken. Pretty much, you can use whatever chicken pieces that you want to use as long as it’s 4 lbs of chicken (because I’ll be using 4 lbs of chicken thighs).

Don’t forget Rosamae Seasoning for Your Homemade Chicken Stew Recipe!

You’ll need some poultry seasoning as well as seasoning salt. Of course, I’m using Rosamae’s Poultry Seasoning as well as seasoning salt! My Rosamae Seasoning Poultry Seasoning is packed with flavorful herbs such rosemary, marjoram and thyme. It also has a nice amount of garlic and celery salt!

Although I like chicken stew with rice, this recipe for chicken stew doesn’t call for rice. Instead, I use red potatoes. Golden potatoes can be used in this recipe as well as russet potatoes, but if you do use russet potatoes, don’t add them until halfway into slow cooking the stew; otherwise, they will fall apart!

Hassle-Free, Freezer-Friendly Homemade Chicken Stew!

Unlike a lot of the chicken stew recipes, this recipe does not use any canned cream soups. Instead of using canned cream soup, I simply thicken chicken broth using all purpose flour.

This recipe is super easy to make and can actually be frozen for up to 3 months after making. Give my slow cooker homemade chicken stew recipe a try, and tell me what you think below!
