Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes - Chicken stew

Stews and soups are ideal for winter. I live them, set a nice and cozy table and enjoy your meal,while outside is freezing cold. And stews and soups are ideal to be cooked in a slow cooker.
If you have not tried cooking with a slow cooker yet, then I have a question for you. What are you waiting for?

Crock pots are very convenient and easy to use. The meal preparation is also quick. The cooking will take long, but you do not need to be constantly involved as there is no risk of burning the food. The temperature is very low, so the meat will not burn. But the best about a slow cooker is that you can prepare your meal early in the morning or the previous night, then go on about your day, go to work, or drive your kids around, and when you come home late in the afternoon or even early evening, supper will be already cooked for you. It is wonderful, it is like having a kitchen assistant, and you do not need to pay a salary.

There are lots of healthy slow cooker recipes you can find.
I want to share a delicious and healthy recipe with you.

Ingredients

- 6 chicken tights, skin removed
- 1/2 pound of white mushroom, thinly sliced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (or use 4 if you do not want to add potatoes)
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (or use 4 if you do not want to add sweet potatoes)
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 6 large shallots, peeled and halved
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 cup dry wine (or use white grape juice)
- 1/2 tsp of dried rosemary
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp of white wine vinegar

Combine all ingredients except the vinegar in the slow cooker. Cover and cook. Cooking time: 5 hours in low or until potatoes are tender. Before serving stir in vinegar.

I hope you enjoy it!
