Chicken thighs get perfectly tender in just a few hours in the slow cooker. Plus, cooking everything together low and slow infuses all the flavors together for complexity in every bite.

Since my slow cooker is 4qt, and I want to make this stew without cutting it in half, I was considering using my 6qt pressure cooker so thank you Aardvark636 for your post. Anyone else have suggestions for an alternative cooking method?

Easy to make, tasty and healthy. When I make it again, I'll probably add a chopped jalopeno pepper to give it a bit more flavor. BTW: I cooked this in a Ninja Food for 25 minutes (total 50 minutes including warm-up and cool-down). I don't doubt that it would be even better in a slow cooker but time was limited. Thanks for your contribution!

This recipe was quick, easy and filling. Flavor-wise it was a little flat so I added more lemon juice to liven it up. Will definitely be making this on the days I work for an easy meal thats not too unhealthy.
