Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 cups baby carrots

1 medium onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 medium potatoes, cubed

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

4 cups chicken broth

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken thighs on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds depth of flavor to the stew.

    Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, potatoes, bell pepper, and green beans. Place the browned chicken on top of the vegetables.

      Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle in the thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

        Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

          Shred the Chicken: About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir the stew to combine.

            Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your cozy family meal!
