Spring-Thyme Chicken Stew image

During a long winter (and spring), my husband and I were in need of something warm, comforting and bright. This chicken was the perfect thing. It fills the house with the smell of home when Mom would make chicken soup, with a little something extra. -Amy Chase, Vanderhoof, British Columbia

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had a rotisserie chicken that I shredded and added to the stew. It was delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out bland and watery. I think I'll try adding more thyme and vegetables next time.
