Print Recipe

Tender chicken with fall vegetables like squash, sweet potatoes, and apple in a comforting slow-cooked stew.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 g boneless chicken thighs or turkey breast, cut into chunks
  • 400 g butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 apple, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 710 ml chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken or turkey, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, apple, onion, and garlic evenly into the slow cooker.
  2. Pour chicken broth over the layered ingredients.
  3. Sprinkle thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, salt, and pepper over the contents. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
  4. Gently stir to distribute seasonings throughout.
  5. Cover and cook on low setting for 6–7 hours or high setting for 3–4 hours, until the poultry is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Shred the chicken or turkey if preferred and mix thoroughly before serving.
  7. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs or an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For even cooking, ensure all vegetables are cut to uniform size. Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that can be omitted for a savoury profile.
