This Keto Slow Cooker Chicken Stew is a hearty, low-carb dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a meal prep option. Packed with flavor and nutritious ingredients like carrots, celery, spinach, and tender chicken thighs, this stew is both satisfying and delicious. The use of a slow cooker makes the cooking process incredibly easy, allowing you to set it and forget it until mealtime.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the carrots into rounds.
- Chop the celery into small pieces.

- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Cover your slow cooker with its lid.
- Set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. Ensure that the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

- Pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Stir gently to combine all the ingredients well.

Tips:

- Make sure to chop the carrots, celery, and onion into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the cooked vegetables before serving.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of heavy whipping cream to suit your taste and desired creaminess.
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
