This is again another lazy man's dish. Using the slow cooker can really help when you're busy with other household chores. Just dump all the ingredients in the pot, give them a good stir, turn on the power and wait patiently.....I did mine at noon and it was smelling good after 4 hours on high heat. I used some Korean bean paste in this stew and the chicken was so tender, even toothless senior citizens would be able to enjoy it :)

Hi Cheah, this is also my favorite dish if I am busy. Just dump everything in and at the end, it's a very delicious and satisfying one-dish meal for us. You have a nice and cheers :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the slow cooker comes in very handy at times!
DeleteYour chicken stew certainly looks yummy and saved so much time labouring in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYes, and most important of all not much cleaning afterwards.
DeleteHi Soke Hah, thanks for sharing this lazy man's dish. Something which I like to do cos' I don't like last minute cooking before meal time. This dish should be tasty with the Korean paste.
ReplyDeleteYes, the korean paste does make a difference in taste.
DeleteCheah, your Chicken Stew looks so delicious! I have had a bit of a disaster cooking chicken using slow cooker. The chicken was overcooked and was all mushy! I think I should not leave it for too long.
ReplyDeleteDepending on whether farm chicken or free range chicken, need to monitor the cooking time.
DeleteHi Cheah
ReplyDeleteI like the word slow cooker because I can just dump everything in it and let it do the cooking and I can laze around. You can bet that I love this one pot meal.
Yes, just let it 'slave' for you...:)
DeleteHi Cheah, This is also my favourite dish too! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's indeed yummy and wholesome!
DeleteIt looks wonderfully delicious, Cheah. I love my slow cooker and have been using it to make chicken soup with dried mushrooms..my cats got the chicken and I ate the mushrooms :-))
ReplyDeleteHi Cheah,
ReplyDeleteIt has been cold cold cold lately. I know that your chicken stew will make a complete homely and warm meal with a bowl hot steamy rice.

On the contrary, it's been hot, hot, super hot and hazy these days. The slow cooker really comes in handy when it's just too hot to cook in the kitchen. Just let the slow cooker do the work for you :)
DeleteHi Cheah, would you believe I do not own a slow cooker? lol! The last one broke and I didn't bother to replace it…now looking at your stew I wondered if I should go get me a new one….looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteGet a medium size one, Jeannie. It's a good investment!
