Last year, our team\u2019s writer, Maggie, shared this amazing Chicken Stew recipe. It became a household favorite, prompting me to experiment with a slow cooker version for those busy weeknights.<\/p>\n

While stovetop saut\u00e9ing adds a depth of flavor a slow cooker can\u2019t replicate, this slow cooker chicken stew is impressively delicious and incredibly easy to prepare!<\/p>\n
