Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 pieces Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 pieces Celery stalks, chopped
- 1 piece Yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Flour
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped celery, and diced onion to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and chicken.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring a smooth mixture, then pour this creamy sauce into the crock pot and stir gently to combine.
Add the frozen peas to the crock pot and let everything cook for an additional 20-30 minutes to thicken.
Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the stew.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
Serve the stew warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside crusty bread or crackers.
