Slow Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Stew image

This delicious chicken and mushroom stew is easy to make, flexible, and with layers of flavor it has a real comfort food richness but with a little zing! We do not add salt to this dish. We find it gets enough from the chicken stock and the soups and adding extra can overdo it. It can always be added to taste when you serve. We like it on brown rice or noodles but baked or mashed potato works well too.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 chicken thighs, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
8 ounces chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup chicken stock
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Mix flour, basil, thyme, sage, and black pepper in a large resealable bag; add chicken, seal bag, and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and bell pepper until slightly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chorizo sausage and garlic; cook and stir until sausage is cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker and top with mushrooms.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make this stew during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight.
