AUTUMN CHICKEN STEW

I've had 2 friends ask me for this super simple slow-cooker dish.  I discovered this recipe about 4 years ago when our youngest was away at UNH and our oldest was still living at home.  It was a huge hit with our oldest, who is not following a vegan diet, and my husband liked it too. It's easy to prep the night before or early in the morning before work.

AUTUMN APPLE CHICKEN STEW

1 1/4  tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp caraway seeds or tumeric (we prefer the tumeric)
about 4-5 medium-sized red potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
(we use 2 now that the girls have moved out)
2 Tbl olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 granny smith apples, peeled and cut into chunks
1 Tbl cider vinegar OR red wine vinegar
1 1/4 c. apple cider or apple juice (we prefer cider)
Minced fresh parsley or a dash of dried parsley for garnish


  • Mix the first 4 ingredients into a bowl.
  • Put the veggies in the slow cooker and sprinkle half the salt mixture on top.
  • Place olive oil in a bowl and coat each piece of chicken with oil then dip into the salt mixture.  Add chicken to slow cooker.
  • Top with apple chunks and the bay leaf.
  • Add the vinegar and cider.
  • Set slow cooker to low (make sure you use the cover!) and set the timer for 6.5-7 hours. 
  • Discard the bay leaf.  Stir the stew well.
  • Scoop out enough to fill 2 bowls and then sprinkle with the parsley.
We like to serve this Pillsbury crescent rolls OR Pumpkin bread as a side. 

ENJOY!!

It sounds delicious. And I would definitely use tumeric instead of caraway. Not a fan of caraway in the least.
