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).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
