Ingredients
- •1.5 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- •1 cup Diced carrots
- •1 cup Diced celery
- •1 cup Frozen peas
- •1 cup Diced potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)
- •1/2 cup Chopped onion
- •4 cups Chicken broth
- •1/2 cup Heavy cream
- •2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- •1 tsp Dried thyme
- •1/2 tsp Dried rosemary
- •1/2 tsp Salt (to taste)
- •1/4 tsp Black pepper (to taste)
- •1 package Refrigerated pie crust (for crust toppers)
- •1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- 1.
In a slow cooker, combine the chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Time: 10 min - 2.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Time: 360 min - 3.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. This will prevent lumps.
Time: 5 min - 4.
Stir the cream mixture and frozen peas into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the stew has thickened slightly.
Time: 20 min - 5.
While the stew is thickening, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Time: 5 min - 6.
Unroll the pie crust and cut out circles or squares slightly larger than the diameter of your bowls. You can use a cookie cutter or a knife.
Time: 5 min - 7.
Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pie crust cutouts with the egg wash.
Time: 5 min - 8.
Place the crust cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Time: 15 min - 9.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top each bowl with a baked pie crust cutout.
Time: 5 min
Tips
- 💡For a richer flavor, brown the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
- 💡You can add other vegetables like green beans or corn to the stew.
- 💡If the stew is too thick, add more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
- 💡Feel free to use puff pastry for the crust toppers instead of pie crust.
