My Slow Cooked Chicken Stew Vegetable Medley is chock-full of vegetables, low in salt and high in protein. This soup is the best way to warm up this winter.
Need a hearty dinner that’s chock-full of vegetables, low in salt and high in protein and is the perfect recipe that pretty much cooks itself?
My Slow Cooked Chicken Stew Vegetable Medley is the answer.
Tender shredded chicken has been slow cooked in this one pot dish that is paired with a medley of vegetables.
For this recipe I took a peek into the vegetable bin and grabbed what I had. I tossed in button mushrooms, a red bell pepper, sweet carrots and a few potatoes.
I used a low salt chicken broth and a can of fire roasted tomatoes and slow simmered the chicken breasts until they were fork tender and easy to shred off the bone.
It’s an easy recipe to make any day of the week. Grab a loaf of french bread to serve with it and enjoy!

Love simple dinners like this! And even better, my kids would love this too!
Simple is the way to go. And even better if the kids like it:)
This looks delicious. Simple recipe with plenty flavor. I love bayleaf in anything.
Thank you!
This looks killer! I love recipes that clean out your produce drawer. I usually make this sort of recipe with beef, but chicken sounds amazing. So much lighter.
I agree with you Tracy. Anything that cleans out the produce drawer is a keeper!
I love stews. They are so awesome in the cold weather. This sounds like it is full of flavour. Making lots and freezing some is great….dinner for another day.
Me too…thanks Gloria. Perfect for these chilly nights.
