Time 8h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and membranes removed, minced
1 Thai chile pepper, seeds and membranes removed, minced
¾ cup white wine
1 ½ cups chicken stock
½ butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and freshly ground black pepper in a container with a lid. Dredge chicken pieces in the flour to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until browned completely, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Put browned chicken pieces in the slow cooker.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno pepper, and Thai chile pepper; continue to cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour white wine over the onion mixture; cook at a simmer until the liquid reduces, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Stir chicken stock, butternut squash, thyme, and bay leaves into the chicken mixture in the slow cooker, assuring solids are all submerged in liquid.
  • Cook on Low for 7 1/2 to 9 1/2 hours. Stir sour cream into the stew and season with salt and pepper; continue cooking another 30 minutes. Stir parsley into the stew.
