  • Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chopping your vegetables and preparing your chicken. Pat the chicken dry and cut it into bite-sized pieces if using breasts.
  • Sauté Vegetables (Optional): In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions, garlic, and celery for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker, followed by the carrots, chicken, broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4 hours, depending on your schedule.
  • Check for Doneness: About 30 minutes before serving, taste and adjust seasoning. If you want a thicker stew, remove the lid to let some liquid evaporate.
  • Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, serve your stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
