Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by chopping the vegetables and cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the slow cooker, combine chicken, carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and chicken broth; stir well.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
If desired for a thicker stew, whisk flour with water and stir in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
