Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Handful of fresh spinach or kale leaves, optional

Instructions

Begin by warming the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken pieces until they’re lightly browned on all sides, about 3–4 minutes total. This step adds a deeper flavor to your stew but can be skipped if you’re in a pinch.

Next, transfer the chicken to your slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, and dried herbs. Give everything a gentle stir, then season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like an extra pop of color and nutrition, add a handful of fresh spinach or kale leaves during the final hour of cooking.

Set your slow cooker to low for 6–7 hours (or high for 3–4 hours). Let the aromatic blend of tomatoes, herbs, and chicken juices meld into a rich, savory stew. When it’s time to serve, ladle generous portions into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese.

It’s an excellent option if you’re watching your sodium levels (simply choose low-sodium broth) or want to pack in extra vegetables.

Feel free to substitute turkey for chicken, or add zucchini, bell peppers, or even mushrooms if you’d like more color and variety. With its comforting flavors and straightforward prep, this dish will quickly become a go-to staple for cozy weeknights and hearty family dinners alike.
