I think this slow cooker chicken stew recipe is my new favorite winter meal. It’s creamy, cheesy, filling and perfect for a weeknight. It also allows me to sneak in some vegetables.

The kids don’t even realize! I remember my mom cooking meals like this when I was a kid (but that was before the invention of the slow cooker, of course) and now I enjoy making them for my family.

There’s nothing better than coming home from work or school and having a warm comfort meal on a cold winter day.

When serving, you can top each bowl with more Parmesan cheese, which is a must at my house. We’re also bread lovers, so we must serve this with bread for “dunking,” too!

Cuisine: American Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 4 hours and 30 minutes Total Time: 4 hours and 45 minutes Servings: 4

– 1 pound petite, baby or new potatoes, quartered – 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces – 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped – 1 rib celery, chopped – 3 large carrots, thinly sliced

– 1 teaspoon minced garlic – 1 teaspoon dried parsley – 1 teaspoon dried thyme – 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) – 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste) – 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth – 2/3 cup heavy cream – 2 tablespoons cornstarch – 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Add potatoes, chicken, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and broth to your 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
