Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 large (peeled and chopped) carrots
- 3 pieces (chopped) celery stalks
- 4 medium (peeled and diced) potatoes
- 1 large (diced) onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 cups frozen green beans
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping the carrots, celery, potatoes, and onion. Mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side, just until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor.
In a 6-quart crock pot, add the seared chicken breasts, followed by the carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, minced garlic, and green beans.
Pour the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with juice) over the ingredients in the crock pot. Add the tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The stew is ready when the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard it. Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, or serve the chicken in large pieces as desired.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty Crock Pot Chicken Veggie Stew!
