Quick and easy chicken stew

We love that this chicken stew is easily made on the stove top, and we also include instructions for your slow cooker and Instant Pot in the recipe card notes below. Here is a summary of how quick and what kind of effort you can expect with each cooking method.

Stove Top – prep veggies, brown chicken and then boil and simmer. Total time should be under an hour. Instant Pot – prep veggies, brown chicken and then add everything to pot to cook. Total time should be under an hour. Only about 20 minutes will be active time spent prepping and browning the chicken though. The rest is hands off while the pressure cooker does its thing. Slow Cooker – prep veggies, toss everything in and let it cook. Total time is 6 hours on low with under 10 minutes of active prep to get everything in your crockpot.

So, if you’re looking for an easy meal to throw in your slow cooker, this is a great one with minimal prep work on the front end. But if you have time to brown your chicken, cooking in either the Instant Pot or on the stove will be about the same.
