The Crock Pot is not only a wonderful time saver but some slow cooked dishes are very tasty when compared with the same dish made other ways. This recipe makes a delicious chicken stew using only the drumsticks. You could use chicken thighs or leg quarters, or even the whole chicken if desired. The recipe would make a delicious vegetarian dish if you leave out the chicken and perhaps add some spices to give it more flavor. The preparation time for this crock pot is short It requires only cutting up the vegetables and doing a fast skillet browning on the drumsticks (for added flavor).
Ingredients
3 large chicken drumsticks (about 1 1/2 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks of celery, chopped
2 medium carrots, sliced on the bias
1 bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into quarters
1 clove of garlic, sliced
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Crockpot
Instructions
1. - Brown the chicken drumsticks on all sides in the olive oil in a skillet.
2. - Remove from the skillet and scrape all of the browned bits from the skillet bottom and
put both into the crock pot.
3 - Add the other ingredients and stir to distribute the cream of mushroom soup as evenly as possible.
4 - Set on high for 4 - 5 hours. Although I haven't tried this recipe on low, I'm sure 6-8m hours would work out fine.
This recipe was served over rice and it was scrumptious! Yous could use any kind of pasta but because the liquid is thin cooked rice is probably best. Hope you like it!
