Description

A hearty and flavorful slow cooker stew featuring tender chicken thighs, red potatoes, green chiles, and salsa verde for an easy, comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes (or a mix of thighs and breasts)
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa verde
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • lbs red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cups organic chicken broth


Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients – chicken, salsa verde, diced green chiles, onion, minced garlic, red potatoes, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chicken broth – directly into your slow cooker.
  2. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Secure the lid on your slow cooker. Cook the stew on the HIGH setting for 4 hours, or on the LOW setting for 8 hours.
  4. The stew is ready when the potatoes are very tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle into bowls and enjoy this comforting stew!

Notes

  • Chicken thighs provide more flavor and tenderness, but breasts can be used for a leaner option.
  • Serve with toppings like cilantro, lime, or avocado for extra freshness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
