Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cups diced potatoes about 4 medium potatoes
  • 3 cups chopped carrots about 4 medium carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery about 2 stalks
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water optional for thickening
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, chopped carrots, chopped celery, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
  2. Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.
  3. Pour the chicken broth over all the ingredients in the crockpot.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream. If you prefer a thicker stew, mix the cornstarch with water and add it to the crockpot, stirring well.
  6. Once the stew is heated through and thickened to your liking, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
