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 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. Also, this recipe contains canned BUSH’S® Chili Magic® Chili Starter Texas.

In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter and all-purpose flour. Mix well to form a paste, then stir into the slow cooker.

Place chicken thighs into the liquid, making sure they are completely covered by the vegetable mixture. Cover the pot and cook on low-heat setting for 7-8 hours, or until chicken and vegetables are cooked through.
