Using a slow cooker is not only a great time saver to have your meal cooking for you while at work, but is also be a very healthy alternative to cooking. A good friend of mine Joe Kaye sent this recipe to me and it was so simple to prepare and good for you, so I am sharing it with all of you! I am sure many of you love making beef stew, but the saturated fat content in this wholesome recipe can quickly turn into a fattening meal. Try this healthy slow cooker chicken stew the next time you have a craving for beef stew. You can see my suggestions next to some of the ingredients to reduce sodium in the meal as well. I would even add to this recipe 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables into this as well to add more volume and nutrition:) Enjoy!
