02 Nov Easy 6-Ingredient Paleo & Whole30 Chicken Stew

I had zero time to plan meals this past weekend.  I didn’t even get a chance to grocery shop. Our fridge is looking pi-ti-ful. Breakfast is covered, thanks to Larabars, Granny Smith apples and pre-sliced carrot chips with guacamole.  Lunch? That’s a whole different story. Since I work close to home and my husband works from home, we usually eat lunch together at our house. Unfortunately, none of the local restaurants are Paleo and Whole30-friendly, so eating out wasn’t an option either. I scrounged around in our understocked fridge for ideas. Luckily, I had some pre-cooked chicken breasts, and this Paleo and Whole30 Chicken Stew came to life in a jiffy!

This is such a quick and easy stew to make, it’s so tasty you’d never know it only calls for six ingredients (plus a little salt and pepper)! This is one of those recipes that you can certainly tweak to fit your needs. I just happened to have fresh carrots and broccoli in my fridge, so that’s what I used. The veggies aren’t set in stone. If I had celery, I would have added it too.

I put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, and by lunchtime, we had a delicious, healthy, homemade stew perfect for our beautiful East Tennessee fall weather.
