It’s been a harsh winter here in Michigan, every year I think I say this but truly this one has been bad. A lot more snow & cold than we are accustomed to in these parts.
To combat the extra cold temps, comfort foods have taken a footing in our household. Take this Rustic Chicken Slow Cooker Stew for example; hearty, satisfying and easy-peasy thanks to your good old slow cooker!
If you need a comforting dish that sticks to your ribs and leaves you satisfied, give Rustic Chicken Slow Cooker Stew a try. I’ve included freezer instructions along with the recipe below.
With carrots, potatoes, and onions, this is a flavorful dish that also reheats well for leftovers. So get your crockpot out and give the family a new meal to love.
This was one of my personal favorite dishes from my “7 Meals in 1 Hour” slow cooker/freezer meals post, click HERE to check out all of the recipes!
This isn’t a very saucy dish, there’s just enough sauce that it coats the chicken and veggies nicely. If you’d like a saucier dish, add more liquids at the end.
Pair alongside a glass of white wine, some fluffy biscuits and try to forget the freezing temps and piles of snow (at least for dinner time)!
