#### How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
1. **Prep your ingredients:** Chop vegetables and cube the chicken.
2. **Sauté for extra flavor (optional):** Lightly brown the chicken and sauté onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker. This step adds depth but can be skipped for convenience.
3. **Layer and cook:** Add everything to the slow cooker, pour in the broth, and season well.
4. **Set and forget:** Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the veggies are perfectly soft.
5. **Shred and finish:** Shred the chicken if desired, adjust seasoning, and stir in any last-minute additions like peas or cream.
