Servings 6

1 tablespoon butter1 small onion chopped2 cloves garlic minced1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces2 medium carrots diced1 rib celery diced1 cup frozen corn thawed1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts½ teaspoon poultry seasoning½ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon black pepper¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves3 cups chicken broth or chicken stock1 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk2 tablespoons cornstarch1 cup frozen green beans thawed

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook just until onion is slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

Transfer to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and corn. Top with the whole (uncooked) chicken breasts.

Sprinkle with poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the broth, cover and cook on HIGH 3 to 4 hours or on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.

In a small bowl, combine the cream and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth. Add the cream mixture, chicken, and green beans to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes or until thickened.

Store leftover slow cooker chicken stew in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
For freezing, use flour instead of cornstarch for better texture, freeze up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
