Chicken Cilantro 13 Bean Stew Recipe
I just decided to throw this together with some leftover veggies I had in the fridge yesterday. Well....8 hours in the slow cooker and I had some delicious mess on my hands! It was not that beautiful, but it was delicious!
Note: I soaked my chicken in the fridge over night in about 2 cups of water with one vegetable bullion cube tossed in there. Just cubed them up in the morning before I left for work. Super easy!
I also soaked my beans in the fridge overnight, but you can always quickly boil these for a few minutes and then toss them in the slow cooker also.
I also soaked my beans in about 4 cups of water overnight and just tossed all this into the slowcooker along with the chicken water :)
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breast - Diced and soaked (See note)
- 4 Carrots - Sliced
- 4 Celery stalks - Sliced
- 1/2 Onion - Coarsely chopped.
- 1.5 Cups - 13 Bean Soup mix (I use Bob's Red mill. Fantastic!!!!)
- 1 - Bunch Cilantro - Just coarsely chopped, nothing fancy.
- 1 - Veggie bullion cube
- 1 - Chicken bullion cube
- 2 tsp - Coriander
- To taste - Ground pepper
- To taste - Sea Salt
- 1 part Corn starch/1 pt water mix.
Directions
- Soak your beans overnight. For a super easy morning I defrost my chicken and dice it up in advance and cut my carrots and celery and just toss the them in the fridge.
- In the morning (or whenever) just throw all the ingredients - including the water from the chicken and beans.
- I user the cooker on low and then just leave it all day when I'm at work (about 9 hours total). I come home to a wonderful smelling house and delicious soup.
- If you want it to stay as soup, just leave as is and eat. If you'd like more of a stew consistency, toss in about 1/4 cup of the cornstarch/water mixture and let it go for a couple minutes. Ta da! Stew too!
