In this post I am sharing my easy Creamy Country Chicken Stew recipe. It takes just a few minutes of prep work and cooks up in an hour on the stove top. I’ll also be sharing cooking times for the crock pot if that suits you better.

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel a bit under the weather and just want something comforting to eat? I had one of those days yesterday.

I decided to cook up a pot of chicken stew. The chicken stew was warm and delicious and hit the spot.

We love chicken stew because it has a flavorful and creamy broth, full of vegetables and is just good for you.

If you’re from the Carolinas or Georgia, you might even consider this a chicken mull recipe. My variation just uses boneless breast pieces instead of a whole chicken.

No matter what you call it, you’ll love this easy chicken stew with potatoes, carrots, aromatic vegetables and fresh green beans.

Since this is a stew recipe, you’ll notice that I’ve chopped the vegetables kind of chunky to keep that rustic stew feel in the recipe.

Let’s get cooking! Remember, you’ll find the full printable recipe at the end of this post. If you enjoy this recipe, please share and pin it to help me get the word out. I really appreciate it.

Southern Chicken Stew

Step 1: Prep the chicken and vegetables. Snap the ends of the fresh green beans and snap the beans in half or thirds depending on length. Next, slice the celery, dice the onion, mince garlic cloves, chop carrots, peel and chop potatoes and set aside. Open a can of corn and drain, then set aside. Use a separate cutting board to cut the chicken breasts into chunks.

Step 2: Next, add a couple of tablespoons of butter to a dutch oven or soup pot. Heat the pot over medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the chicken and aromatic vegetables (onion, celery and garlic), then saute for a minute or two. Next, add the remaining vegetables to the pot.

Step 3: Next, combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken stock in a mixing bowl then pour into the stew mixture. Season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Next, add water and cover the pot with a lid.

Bring to a simmer and cook for one hour. Lastly, when the cooking time is finished, add heavy cream (half & half or whole milk are fine too) and stir to incorporate with the rest of the ingredients. Serve hot with cornbread muffins if desired.
