Chicken Stew

Adapted from Crock-Pot Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes

We were excited to make our first meal in our new crock pot today! It was so nice to come home from a long day of class and our dinner be ready (and our apartment smell wonderful!). Crock pot meals might become our new thing, so be on the look out! This one is delicious and tastes just like good 'ole southern brunswick stew (except with chicken, not pork).

Ingredients:

• 3 cups chopped cooked chicken (approx. 3 chicken breasts)
• 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 large red potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 8 ounces fresh or frozen okra, sliced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 can corn
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (our favorite is Sweet Baby Ray's)

Directions:

Combine chicken, tomatoes, potatoes, okra, and onion in crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Add corn, ketchup, and barbeque sauce. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings
