How to Make Bubba's Crockpot Chicken Stew

I know there are hundreds of recipes for chicken. I know the political correct thing to use is those skinless boneless tasteless frozen chicken breasts. Don't tell the chicken police y'all can substitute chicken thighs in this recipe. If you really want to enhance the flavor and put it in the chicken police face leave the skin on the chicken. I will allow you to choose how to cook in your own kitchen. If the chicken police come to your door just tell 'em Bubba said it was OK. This recipe does have more than a few ingredients other than chicken, sorry about that. It is time to roll up your sleeves, take off your rings, wash your hands, and get cooking chicken... Shhh! don't tell the chicken police.

Bubba's Crockpot Chicken Stew

Ingredients

2 Tablespoon cooking oil (You choose your favorite)

1 green bell pepper diced (frozen OK)

1 Cup celery diced

1 softball size onion diced

1 bag baby carrots

1- 8oz can mushroom stems and pieces

2 Tablespoons corn starch

1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder

2 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breasts diced (other chicken OK)

1 pound white beans (soaked over night) You choose navy, great northern, cannoli

1 pound smoked sausage diced small (turkey, ground hog, venison, pork sausage all OK)

2-3 cups chicken stock

Directions:

OK Take Crockpot from pantry and set on counter. Place all ingredients in crock exactly as listed above. Remember the chicken police aren't your boss anymore. The Chicken Broth should just barely cover everything. Turn Crockpot on High cooking chicken mixture for one hour then lower heat to low for 6 hours or more... I know once the chicken stew simmered over 12 hours and was delightful. I serve this with a green salad and fresh baked biscuits...

Note:

You may use canned beans if you choose. You will need 2- 15oz cans drained and rinsed. You may use all purpose flour in place of the corn starch. You may omit or reduce the amount of any veggie your family won't eat. Yes it will change the flavor but it will still be good. You may replace chicken with tofu and the broth with a veggie broth but please change the name to Bubba's Veggie Stew with Tofu.

OK the chicken stew recipe is now yours. Please invite the family or just friends for a chicken stew night soon. Share the link with all your friends and any of your enemies that will enjoy a great meal of chicken stew tonight. Invite the Rabi, minister, and priest from your community to break bread and eat chicken stew with you... tell 'em to bring their spouse. Mizpah ;-}}>
