Slow Cooker Chicken Barley Stew

What I had:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless breasts, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bag crinkle cut frozen carrots
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cups chicken broth (I used 3 bullion cubes in 2 cups boiling water)
  • 3 cups water
  • 3.4 cup Goya Barley
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 3 cups water
What I did:
  • Layered onions on the bottom of slow cooker, added the carrots and celery on top
  • Added the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables
  • Poured in the broth and water
  • Added some coarse ground black pepper
  • Cooked on low for 8 hours
We haven't eaten it yet, but it smells great. From the small taste I did, I'll probably add a little salt and paprika to my bowl. Serve it with some fresh baked rolls on a rainy evening.
