Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Stew Recipe

It’s thick, it’s creamy, it’s all you want in a stew! I’m calling this Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Stew Recipe a stew as opposed to a soup, as it’s much thicker than a soup. It is really good, it’s very comforting and really easy to make. I used some frozen carrots and celery, but you can always swap them with fresh vegetables as well. Those are actually fresh carrots and celery that I had cut up prior and had frozen for things like slow cooker meals! My goal is to make these recipes even easier on you at home, why not save even more time?

We had a longer than normal winter this year, and I am so grateful because I really adore stews but not in the summer! However, I had a terrible cold…my entire body ached and I felt so worn down. I knew I had to quickly recover and get back to normal asap so I decided to cook this recipe in hopes I would start feeling a bit better. They say chicken soup feeds the soul, so why not try this Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Stew? It has the nutrients from the vegetables and instead of the typical noodles, it has wild rice! I love wild rice as it is so much healthier and adds a little more texture to it.

You can either choose to cook this recipe for 6 to 8 hours, or 3 to 4 hours depending on your schedule. I wanted to get it cooked as quick as possible so I could start feeling better sooner. This recipe was super affordable to make, I spent about $11 total and the preparation time was about 10 minutes as I had used the frozen veggies. It serves 6 to 8 people which is great because stew really keeps well and reheats nicely!

Let me tell you, this really hit the spot! It was so hearty and creamy and really filled me up. I don’t know about you but when I feel under the weather I don’t really have a huge appetite, so this was perfect for me! A friend of mine dropped by later that day and I poured her a bowl and she absolutely loved it! It was so nice of her to come and check on me, and honestly I felt much better after having had eaten it. You can choose to serve this as a main dish or along with a salad even…really you cannot go wrong. I like to garnish my stews at times, the parsley added a beautiful elegance to the bowl. I am most definitely going to make this soup for friends and family when they are feeling under the weather, after all who doesn’t like a fresh homemade stew to brighten their day? I hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with your friends, family and even co-workers the next time they are looking for a nice comforting meal or on a cold winter day.

Are you looking for other Slow Cooker and Instant Pot recipes? I have a few really simply, but tasty ones on The Rebel Chick! I love One Pot Meals or Slow Cooker Meals because we don’t currently have a dishwasher, and it makes my life so much easier when I have fewer dishes to wash after cooking dinner! I mean, who really ENJOYS washing the dishes after cooking? This is part of the reason why I love using my Slow Cooker – one dirty dish is all I have to clean up after I am done cooking! Of course, not everything needs to be cooked in the slow cooker, and that is where a Skillet or big pot comes in handy!
