This Crockpot stew is a perfect dump and go recipe, like my Chicken Noodle Stew; meaning you just have to cut up the vegetables and chicken, add it to the crockpot, and have dinner ready for you. No other cooking required!. Add all the vegetables, chicken, and spices raw, and just forget about it until dinner time. This hearty meal is great during a cold winter. Chicken thighs work the best here for the long cooking time, as they won't dry out like chicken breast would. You can also check out any of my other soups and stews!
