Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, washed and quartered
- 1.25 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In the base of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, combine the potatoes, chicken breasts, celery, carrots, onion, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the lid on top and set the slow cooker to cook on low for 7-9 hours or high for 4-6 hours.

Freeze any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Defrost in the refrigerator and re-heat the stew on the stovetop or in the microwave.
You can use whatever type of potatoes you like, but you’ll need about 1 pound.
If you want even more flavor from the chicken, feel free to substitute chicken thighs for the chicken breasts.

Thank you Carrie!
Fantastic Stew! I don’t have a crock pot but I was able to quickly make this stew in a very large pot on the stove. To the recipe I added lots fresh garlic, fresh ginger, fresh green beans and no potatoes (I didn’t have any). My sons said it was the best soup I ever made! Thank you for bringing out great recipes and a website that Really Really Rocks! Clean Eating to you!
