23 Reviews of Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

From: George

On Sep 6, 2001

A very big hit in my house where my children are very finicky eaters! I substituted the 1 lb of chicken thighs and used 3 pounds of chicken breast instead, since I was upping the recipe for 7 people. I would have preferred it to be a little more spicy, but my kids thought it was great as is. I also cooked it for eight (8) hours on low, instead of the 4 at high, so I could start it before I left for work. I also served the leftover portions over rice with much success.

    Tastes great! It had a little too much meat for us, so next time I'm going to put more vegetables in, and see what it tastes like with potatoes.

    A delightful medley of flavors. My husband says this one is a keeper! The only adjustment I would make in the recipe though is that at the begining it should say 5 hours (30 minutes preparation time, 4 hours + 30 minutes cooking time) instead of 1 hour. I fixed it exactly as recommended. Truly a delicious recipe!

    Great recipe! Thanks to Aaron on the suggestion for putting potatoes in it. I tried it with potatoes and it came out wonderful...

    This stew was, in my opinion, bland. My family ate and enjoyed it, but I felt it needed something to make the flavor sing. All the vegetables and chicken tasted the same. It took every bit of 30 minutes to cut up all the veggies and chicken, but it was nice to have it cook in the crock pot. It was adequate and filling, but not great.

    I made this over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I cut the chicken to one pound of breast meat and it was plenty. I used baby carrots and left out the tofu. I added some choppes red potatoes. The only thing I would do a little differently next time is not add the carrots at the same time as the potatoes and meat as they got a little overdone. I didn't need to cook the dish very long. I think I ended up cooking this on low for about 3 hours and then high for about 1 hour.

    Excellent Stew. I did not make it in the crock pot because my crockpot is too small. I used bone-in drumsticks and thighs and I added 2 potatoes, 1 can drained butter beans and 1/2 can corn drained and only 1 cup peas. I left out the celery because I forgot to buy it. This has a really nice flavor and goes well with everything. We served with homemade bread one night and had some leftovers with ramen noodles the next day. Thanks!!

    Quite nice! Made everything as the recipe stated and for once, a slowcooker recipe turned out nicely for me! I will serve it up with mashed potatoes tonight. I think I will just put one cup peas and one cup green beans next time. I also only cooked it for 3 hours, any longer than that and the chicked would taste like dust. Thank you for the nice recipe.

    I did not find this bland, in fact I enjoyed the taste. Had no celery, so I substituted beans. It worked well, Recommended.

    So simple and a hit with the whole family, we liked it just the way it was, we served it over homemade biscuits. Delicous! Maybe next time I will try potatoes in it instead of serving over biscuits or rice.
