Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 medium carrots, sliced

3 potatoes, diced

1 onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping and preparing all your vegetables and chicken. Make sure the chicken is cut into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

    Sauté Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). This step adds depth to the dish.

      Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, layer the chicken pieces, sautéed onions and garlic, carrots, potatoes, and green beans.

        Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.

          Cook the Stew: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The longer cooking time on low will enhance flavors.

            Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Once cooked, give the stew a good stir. Taste it and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.

              Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and enjoy with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
