Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Stew

We have been enjoying this Southern Stew recipe for quite awhile, but as the kids have grown and started eating more, that recipe just wasn't filling enough for our whole family.  So I kept adding things to it to make it a more substantial meal, and came up with this version, which makes enough to feed our family of six plus leftovers.

Ingredients:

• 16-20oz. chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 6 carrots, chopped
• 4 potatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup frozen green beans
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup half and half
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Combine all ingredients except corn, peas, and half and half in crockpot.  Cook on low 6-8 hours, until chicken is cooked and potatoes are soft.  Add corn, peas, and half and half for last half hour of cooking time.  Serve alone or with biscuits.

This stew is perfect for a cold winter day!
