Can I Make This Chicken Stew in the Crockpot?

I know you’re going to ask! The answer is yes, yes you can. The oven cooking temperature is 250 degrees, so if you’d like to use your slow cooker in place of the oven, I suggest 5 hours on low or 3 hours on high.

Instructions for Easy Oven Chicken Stew

This recipe could not be any easier. Let me show you!

First, you’ll put the chicken in the bottom of the pot. Pro tip: ask the butcher at your grocery store to cube the chicken for you. They are usually happy to do it and it’s SUCH a time saver!
Cover your chicken pieces with the vegetables.
In a medium bowl mix together the garlic, arrowroot, can of tomatoes and chicken stock. Pour over the vegetables in the Dutch oven.
Sprinkle with the thyme, oregano, sage, poultry seasoning and red pepper flakes.
Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and stir thoroughly. Return to oven and continue baking for 3 more hours stirring occasionally.
