Cooking Steps
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet and place over high heat. Add chicken pieces and generously season with salt and pepper, brown the meat for about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a large 6 or 8-quart slow cooker.
- Next, add chicken broth, dry white wine, worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, dried oregano and salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir together with the chicken until combined, then add in garlic, onion chunks, carrots and diced potatoes. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- Remove ½ cup of chicken broth from the slow cooker and transfer to a medium bowl, then stir in ½ cup of milk and whisk in ¼ cup flour until there aren't any lumps remaining. Add mixture back to the slow cooker, stir to combine, and add frozen peas. Cook uncovered on HIGH for 15-20 more minutes until chicken stew thickens up.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately with fresh thyme, toasted french bread, cornbread, crackers, or buttermilk biscuits.
Notes
Instead of the rosemary, thyme and oregano, you can sub 1 ½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning, but fresh herbs are highly recommended. If you don't want to use wine, you can replace it with additional chicken broth.
