Colorful Chicken Stew

I really like hearty stews, but more often than not I don't have the time to cook them. So I was happy to find this great stew recipe which is prepared in a slow cooker.

Colorful Chicken Stew (10 servings at 2 Points a piece)

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 can 14 1/2 oz Italian diced tomatoes, undrained

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

5 medium carrots, chopped

3 celery ribs, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1 medium green pepper, chopped

2 cans (4oz each) mushroom stems & pieces, drained

2 low-sodium chicken bouillon cubes

2 tsp. sugar (I used Splenda)

1 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 cups cold water

In a 5 qt. slow cooker, combine the first 12 ingredients. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into chicken mixture. Cover and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours, or until vegetables are tender.

This stew was tasty and very hearty, and the husband and I quickly devoured this stuff at dinner. We both really enjoyed the potatoes and tomatoes together.
