Slow Cooker White Bean Chicken Stew
Chicken thighs, white beans, tomatoes, spinach, and Italian herbs slow-cooked until the chicken is fall-apart tender and the broth is rich. Everything goes in the slow cooker in 10 minutes. Six hours later it's dinner. The white beans thicken the broth naturally, and a handful of spinach added at the end disappears into the stew without anyone knowing.

Parent noteThe spinach becomes invisible in the broth. The mild Italian flavor with tender chicken is broadly accepted. This is a set-it-in-the-morning dinner. Serve with bread for dipping; kids eat more when they can dip. Contains no common allergens.
Chips reflect this recipe's curated tags, not an ingredient-by-ingredient allergen scan. The app tags every ingredient against the top-9 allergens and filters your family's weekly plan by severity — check labels if an allergy is severe.
