Get ready for a flavor-packed dinner that practically cooks itself. This Slow Cooker Chicken Stew brings together tender chicken thighs, hearty root vegetables, and vibrant herbs in a savory, soul-warming broth. And just when you think it couldn’t get better, enter Kōloa Gold Rum. With its mellow notes of toasted sugar, this island spirit deepens the flavor and adds a gentle richness that sets this stew apart.
It’s as simple as it is satisfying, just brown the chicken, toss everything in the slow cooker, and let it work its magic. Add a swirl of coconut milk at the end for creaminess and extra island flair. Serve with crusty bread, over fluffy rice, or enjoy it as a one-bowl wonder.
Fun Fact: Slow cooking makes herbs like rosemary and thyme bloom with flavor. Let them simmer all day and your whole kitchen will smell amazing!
