Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts fat trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1.5 cups yellow onion diced
  • 5 units carrots cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • 3 sticks celery chopped

Cooking Liquids and Seasonings

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 units bay leaves
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 0.25 cups cornstarch
  • 1.25 cups frozen peas

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add chicken, onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery to the slow cooker.
  • In a medium bowl, add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic, poultry seasoning, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Whisk until well combined and pour over chicken and vegetables. Then place bay leaves on top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  • In a small bowl, whisk milk and cornstarch together until there are no lumps. Add cornstarch slurry and peas into the slow cooker. Cook for 20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  • Remove bay leaves and stir before serving.

Notes

Prep ahead by dicing vegetables, cutting fat off the chicken, and mixing cooking liquid. Searing chicken before slow cooking adds flavor. Freezes well for meal prep.
