Slow Cooker Cuban-Style Chicken Stew Recipe
Legendary and unique, this slow cooker Cuban-style chicken stew recipe is hearty, savory comfort food!
Ingredients
- 1 large onion sliced
- 4 - 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
- 3 Russet potatoes diced into 1/2" pieces
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- 2 lbs chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
optional garnish
- avocado
- cilantro chopped
- queso fresco
- feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Coat slow cooker with cooking spray then add all ingredients except salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cover and cook on low heat for 6–8 hours or potatoes are tender and chicken becomes fall-apart tender.
- Stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. If you would like your dish to be a bit thicker, just remove a few potatoes to a plate, mash them and stir them back into the broth. Remove bay leaves and serve over rice if desired, but we like it just as it is. Garnish with avocado, cilantro and queso fresco or crumbled feta. Enjoy!
Notes
If you like the spice, serve with crushed red peppers or sliced jalapeños on top.
