Ann's Crockpot Chicken Stew
I have sometimes found frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs(!) at Wal-Mart. They make life so
much easier! I try to stock up when I find them, as they dont always have them.
Cooking spray (such as Pam, optional)
4-5 frozen chicken thighs (boneless & skinless if possible) 1 can chicken broth 1 can corn
(drained) 1 can Italian cut green beans (drained) 1 can pinto beans (undrained) 1 can black beans
(undrained) 1 can Great Northern beans (undrained) 1 can tomatoes (I like the diced and get various
flavors. This time I used onions, green peppers & celery.) 1 10-oz can tomatoes with green chiles
(such as Ro-tel) 1 envelope onion soup mix 1 4-oz can mushrooms (drained) 1 very small (2-3 oz?)
can sliced black olives (drained) 1 can Campbell's cream of chicken soup (I have found name-brand
canned soups superior)
I always spray my crockpot before using with a Pam-like product. Makes clean-up so much easier!
Combine all ingredients in crockpot, cook 4-5 hrs on high or 8-10 on low. There is enough salt &
other flavorings in the soups that I don't use any more. My crockpot is several years old & only
holds about 5 qts or so. I really need a larger one! As I was putting these ingredients in & the
cooker had already started, I discovered there wasn't enough room for everything. So I started
spooning off the liquid into another bowl. This could've been added back in later if needed.
I like my stew a little thick, so didn't add any liquid back in. It's in the freezer now waiting for
the next stew. I thought later if I didn't use the can of chicken broth, I might have had enough
space. (My recipes are always "works in progress"!
PS: When I drained off the cans of corn, green beans, etc., I saved the liquid & used it to cook
rice instead of plain water.
