Introduction

Yummy - this is one of my favorites now. The stew is quite thick. I did top it with about 1 tbsp of shredded parmesan cheese & mixed in some light sour cream after dishing it out into my bowl (not included in nutritional values). I even prepared some left overs for lunch at work tomorrow & topped it with another cup of mixed vegetables & a bit of water for reheating. Because the sodium content is high, I think I'll try a salt free boullion in place of the store bought broth. Yummy - this is one of my favorites now. The stew is quite thick.

Ingredients

    6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1/4 tbsp unsalted butter
    1 celery stalk, chopped
    3 medium potatoes, diced
    8 oz presliced mushrooms
    5.6 oz frozen 3 pepper/onion blend vegetables
    2 tsp minced jarred garlic
    1 cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth (i.e. Swanson's Natural Goodness)

    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    10oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables

Directions

Preheat a frying pan over medium high heat, add olive oil & allow to heat up. Lightly salt/pepper chicken thighs. Brown thighs, both sides (approx 3-5 min), 3 at a time. While they're browning, chop celery & potatoes. Add these to the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with chicken thighs.

Add butter to the fry pan & toss in the mushrooms, cook for about 5 minutes & add the pepper/onion blend. Cook through & place atop the thighs. Top thighs with mixed vegetables (If you like your veggies with some bite, thaw them & add them during the last hour of cooking.

Add broth to the fry pan to deglaze then stir in the condensed soup. Pour mixture in the crock pot & cook over high setting for 5 hours (or low for 8-9 hours).

Makes 6 servings (approx 385g per serving).

Optional, mix in just 2 tbsp of light sour cream in your bowl.
