Whole30 Salsa Chicken Stew
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or bone broth
- 1 cup salsa
- 3 cloves minced garlic OR 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pounds potatoes, cut into 1" chunks We love orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, but can also use russet potatoes
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced OR 1 cup jarred roasted red pepper
- 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- TRIM chicken breasts and cut into strips.
- COMBINE cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, broth, salsa, and garlic in a small bowl.
- PLACE chopped potatoes on the bottom of a 5-6 quart slow cooker or large Instant Pot. Nest chicken and diced red pepper on top of potatoes and pour broth mixture over chicken.
- COVER slow cooker with lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Or, seal Instant Pot and cook on "stew" for 25 minutes. Once time is up, manually release steam if using an Instant Pot, stir in cilantro and break up chicken as desired — we like large chunks, but shredded works too!
- SERVE and enjoy!
