Is it OK to put raw chicken in slow cooker?

The prep time for this slow cooker chicken and vegetable stew recipe includes an added 8 minutes to prep the chicken on the stovetop. While you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker, I prefer to brown my chicken breast on all sides for about 6-8 minutes total before placing it in the slow cooker.

Stir all together and cook.

This helps retain more moisture for a tender bite of chicken breast with every spoonful of chicken and vegetable stew!

Can you put raw vegetables in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can put raw vegetables in a slow cooker. For my chicken and vegetable stew, you’ll need celery stalks, carrots, potatoes, and onions. Each of these veggies will be placed in your slow cooker on top of your browned chicken breast.

Each vegetable will be sliced or chopped as per the ingredients list below to ensure the vegetables are evenly placed in the chicken and vegetable stew. You’ll want to make sure that your family is able to get a delicious bite of tender chicken and veggies with every bite.

If you’re worried about the raw vegetables cooking thoroughly in the slow cooker, just follow my instructions for slow cooker temperature and time in the recipe card below. I have laid out the perfect way to cook raw vegetables and chicken together in a slow cooker to whip up a flavorful vegetable stew with chicken every time.

Now that we’ve discussed some questions that may arise when you’re preparing to make a vegetable stew with chicken, I think you’re ready to get started. Just gather the ingredients, get your slow cooker dusted off, and get ready to enjoy a delightful bowl of chicken and vegetable stew in 4 hours when slow-cooked on high or 8 hours when slow-cooked on low.

    Rosemary, this looks great We love soups and stew when it is cool weather. I like that you used smaller potatoes so no peeling! Crock pot soups are great for us with Meg’s hours not the same as ours.

      I love to use chicken in soups to change things up a bit. Look for a new spicy pulled pork chili.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
