Servings: 8
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Onion. -Diced.
- ½ cup Carrots. -Sliced to about a quarter inch thick.
- 2 cloves Garlic. - Freshly minced.
- 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup.
- 1½ cups Chicken Broth.
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese. -Shredded.
- 1 cup Frozen Peas.
Optional Seasonings. Salt and Pepper. You can adjust these to taste, especially since the soup, broth, and cheese contain sodium. Parsley can be used as garnish.
Instructions
- Chicken. Use a clean paper towel to wipe off any moisture from the chicken. If you are adding the salt and pepper you can season the chicken in this step. This is optional but, you can sear the chicken for two to three minutes on each side. Set the chicken aside.
- Layer. I like to give my slow cooker a quick spray with nonstick before making a recipe such a this one. Place your sliced carrots on the bottom of the slow cooker and then the diced onions on top of the carrots. Make sure that these ingredients are evenly spread over the bottom of your slow cooker and then place the chicken breasts on top.
- Add the creamy broth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and minced garlic until combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
- Slow cook. Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours or HIGH for about 3 hours, or until the chicken is tender and has reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
- Shred the chicken. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate or cutting board and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Add the peas and cheese. Stir in the frozen peas. Add the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time, stirring between additions until the cheese has melted and the stew is creamy. Cover and cook for another 5–10 minutes, or just until the peas are heated through.
- Serve. Taste the stew and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. You can serve the stew with additional shredded cheddar and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
