FAQ
Q: Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?
A: Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but they may become a bit drier compared to thighs. You can also cook the breasts separately, shred them, and then add them back into the stew.
Q: Can I make this stew in a slow cooker?
A: Absolutely! Brown the chicken and sauté the vegetables first, then add everything to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes and chicken are tender. Add the peas and cream toward the end of cooking time.
Q: Can I make this stew ahead of time?
A: Yes, this stew actually tastes better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld. Simply store it in the fridge overnight and reheat when ready to serve.
