Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus extra to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 lb)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the diced chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on all sides (no need to cook through). Transfer to the slow cooker.
    • Tip: If your slow cooker has a removable stovetop-safe pot, sear the chicken directly in it, then transfer to the base.
  3. Add Flour & Herbs: Sprinkle flour, thyme, rosemary, and salt over the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir until well coated.
  4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the garlic, onion, carrots, and potatoes. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until vegetables are tender.
  6. Finish the Stew: Stir in milk and frozen peas, then cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on high, until peas are warmed. Adjust thickness by adding more flour or broth as needed.
  7. Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving. Enjoy warm with crusty bread, if desired.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
