With winter here, there is nothing better than a bowl of stew, right?!?! Well, I live in Houston, so my winter is about 70 degrees and sunny, but I still love a good bowl of soup/stew, haha!!
In fact, by about August, I am already entering casserole, chili, and soup mode because I am over the hot and humid weather, ready for all things Fall!
Since Mondays are my “slow cooker” days due to cleaning my house and not wanting to dirty up the kitchen, I decided to throw this together for dinner last week and it was a huge hit with the family.
My kiddos happily at it all up, including the veggies in it, and my hubby even took leftovers the next day for work.
Shredded chicken, tender vegetables and potatoes, all combined into a savory stew!
It was quick to throw together, quite hearty, and made plenty for everyone to enjoy!
If you are in a state that is currently cold, unlike Texas, I highly recommend trying this stew. If you are in Texas, turn the A/C down and pretend its cold outside, then make this, haha!!

Do you think this would freeze well? I have made this and we all loved it. Thinking of serving it for late night Christmas supper, but would like to make ahead…
Kristin
Absolutely! I freeze leftovers of this meal frequently and pull it out at a later date. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. It freezes for up to 3 months! Enjoy!

What could be used in place of the ranch dressing mix? I am so tired of it being used in so many recipes. And I am not crazy about the taste it adds to the food.
Kristin
You can make your own version by using dried parsley, dill weed, onion powder, onion flakes, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Just add about 1/2 tsp of each (more or less based on preference) and it should be great!!
