Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound skinless & boneless chicken thighs

  • 2 large carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery peeled and diced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Add the chicken thighs, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and whole garlic cloves straight into your slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, gravy mix, and ranch seasoning until smooth. Pour it all over the chicken and veggies.
  • Pop the lid on and cook on high for about 4 hours or low for 6, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are soft and cozy.
  • In the meantime, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch until smooth. Stir that into the stew along with the peas.
  • Cover and cook for another 30 minutes, just until everything thickens up and the peas are warmed through.
  • Give it a taste, garnish with fresh herbs if you’d like (parsley or thyme work great), and serve it up!
