Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

with carrots and potatoes over polenta

You’ll love how easy this hearty stew comes together when your slow cooker does the work. I use bone-in chicken for some extra flavor. Vegetarians will use dried beans which will absorb all the flavors of the stew as they cook to a creamy consistency. Even if you’re a carnivore, choose the vegetarian version if you’re looking to save some money - dried beans are an inexpensive source of protein! Spoon over creamy polenta for a rustic fall dish. Our paleo folks will be making pureed garlic cauliflower instead.
