Crazy Good.  This low-FODMAP Slow-Cooker Chicken Stew with White Wine is absolutely amazing, and so easy! Put the ingredients in the slow-cooker, and let it do all the simmering and melding of flavor.

I add extra texture and nutrition to this low-FODMAP Chicken Stew with canned peas and corn, creaminess and flavor from cream or coconut milk, and that gorgeous depth of the white wine.  Your whole family is going to love this recipe, I guarantee it!

Serve this low-FODMAP Chicken Stew with low-FODMAP Crusty Egg Bread and a low-FODMAP Spinach Salad with Cranberries.  No one will leave the table hungry 🙂

FODMAP fact: Canned peas and corn are lower in FODMAPs than the fresh variety! That is because the canning process allows the FODMAPS to ‘leach’ out in the liquid that you drain away.  If you rinse the vegetables before eating, you can have a much larger portion size.  A great way to add more variety to your menu 🙂

• 2 teaspoons each garlic-infused oil and onion-infused oil

Directions

• Place your tablespoon of oil for frying in a large skillet and heat over medium high
• Add your chicken pieces to sear lightly on all sides (about 5 minutes). They do not need to be cooked through at this point
  • If desired, you can season with salt and pepper while cooking
• After searing, place your chicken in your slow cooker, then add your 2 cups low-FODMAP chicken broth, white wine, Worcestershire sauce, Balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme and rosemary, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper
• Stir together with the chicken until combined, then add in sliced carrots, and potatoes
• Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours
• When almost ready, remove 1/2 cup of the broth from the cooker and place in a small bowl or mug (If necessary, use additional broth).  Add the LF, GF flour and stir to remove all lumps in the mixture
• Place the flour mixture in the slow-cooker and stir well to combine
• Mix in your infused oils and heavy cream (or coconut milk), then your corn and peas
  • Since canned vegetables are more mushy, I like to add them last
• Stir, then increase heat to high, and cook another 15-20 minutes more until it thickens
• Taste, and season with more salt and pepper, or herbs, if necessary
• Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs, alongside low-FODMAP crusty bread or sourdough
