Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Broth

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cups chicken broth

Vegetables

  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1½ cups frozen peas

Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Other

  • Cooking spray (for slow cooker insert)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Lightly spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, black pepper, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.
  4. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine evenly.
  5. Add Cream and Peas: Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Cover again and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the peas are softened and the stew is creamy and hot.
  6. Serve: Serve the chicken stew hot with crusty bread or biscuits for a complete comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free creamer.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the salt content.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as green beans or corn for variety.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt as necessary at the end.
  • This stew keeps well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
