Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 6 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
I like to sprinkle chicken stew with toasted almonds or cashews and serve with hot couscous. Flavored with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness from the apricots, this pretty dish will stand apart from the rest at potlucks, too! —Angela Buchanan, Longmont, Colorado
