Slow cooker tex-mex chicken stew recipe. This chicken recipe belongs to Mexican cuisine. Chicken thighs with vegetables and spices cooked in a slow cooker. The chicken thighs were incredibly tender from being cooked in the slow cooker. The seasonings and spices made this stew very flavorful. Use a 6-quart (6 L) slow cooker for this recipe.
Just pour all ingredients into the slow cooker and turn it on the low-heat setting. Cook and enjoy!
I used boneless and skinless chicken thighs, canned tomatoes, canned beans, canned corn, chicken stock (I used canned), and spices.

Method
Step 1
In a 6-quart (6 L) slow cooker, combine onions, garlic, tomato paste, pepper, chili powder, brown sugar, canned tomatoes, peas, Bush’s Chili Starter, and chicken stock. Mix well.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter and all-purpose flour. Mix well to form a paste, then stir into the slow cooker.
Step 3
Place chicken thighs into the liquid, making sure they are completely covered by the vegetable mixture. Cover the pot and cook on a low-heat setting for 7-8 hours, or until chicken and vegetables are cooked through.
Step 4
Open the lid and remove the cooked chicken. Transfer to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat and return it to the pot along with cream cheese. Stir the corn into the slow cooker, then increase the heat to high.
Step 5
Cook, uncovered, stirring until the cream cheese has melted.
Step 6
Turn off the cooker. Ladle chicken stew into serving bowls. Serve with jalapeno wheels. Enjoy!
