i love to cook, but as a busy mom i don't really have the time most evenings to create a good meal without taking an hour to do so. i have come up with a way to make chicken stew with all canned goods. it takes under five minutes to prepare and is ready and delicious by supper time

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • can corn
  • can potatoes
  • can carrots
  • can diced tomatoes
  • can mixed veges
  • large can of white meat chicken
  • can of green beans
  • salt,pepper, onion powder
  • crockpot
Step1
the first thing you need to do is get out your crock pot and turn it on. you need to cook this at least 3 hours so if you are turning it on in the morning set it on low, if you are turning it on in the late afternoon set it on high. next open your can ingredients and pour them in. save your chicken for last. once you have put all your can goods in you are ready for the chicken. pour the chicken into a separate bowl. using a fork work the clumps of chicken into separate strands. this makes it taste more like homemade. you can add whatever veges you like and also can remove any i have mentioned that you may not like. this recipe is very versatile.
Step2
next add the chicken to the crock pot and stir the ingredients together. then add salt and pepper to taste. i add onion powder to get the onion flavor without using actual onions. my family is picky so i cant use them. stir again and let cook.
Step3
when you are ready to eat always taste the broth before you serve. sometimes you may need more salt and pepper as the potatoes will soak up the salt. serve with crackers, peanut butter and jelly or any other item you may like.

Tips & Warnings

  • i recommend the white chicken because it tastes best. dark meat doesn't work for me. sometimes to save money if i have potatoes at home i will cut them up and add them to the recipe instead of canned potatoes. the same goes for chicken.
  • this is a quick and very inexpensive recipe
