Mediterranean Diet Friendly Crockpot Chicken Stew

This slow-simmered stew is built on tender chicken thighs, sweet carrots, celery, and hearty Yukon Gold potatoes, all simmered low and slow until everything turns fork-tender. Tomato paste, garlic, and a generous hit of thyme and rosemary give the broth deep, savory flavor without any fuss, and a final handful of peas adds a pop of color and freshness right at the end. Searing the chicken first locks in flavor before it all melts together in the slow cooker, so you get rich, developed taste with almost no hands-on effort. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, it's the kind of vegetable-and-protein-forward comfort food that fits naturally into a Mediterranean-style way of eating. Make it on a weekend and you'll have bowls of it to lean on all week long.
