How to Make 6 Ingredient Chicken Stew

In a large crock-pot or slow cooker, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules.
Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the crock-pot.
Pour in enough water to completely cover the chicken (approximately 2 cups).
Cook on high for 5 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
Remove chicken from the crock-pot and shred with two forks.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp cold water and 2 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock-pot and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock-pot and stir to combine.
Serve the stew hot over cooked elbow macaroni. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
