Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

"This tasty Slow-Cooker Chicken Stew combines onions, celery, potatoes, carrots, corn, peas, and tender chicken in a perfectly seasoned, savory gravy. Enjoy this chicken stew with angel biscuits or rosemary potato bread. Peel the carrots to bring out that beautiful orange color. Food should look aesthetically pleasing. The chicken may be done up to 40 minutes before the vegetables. It depends on its thickness. Dice or shred the chicken and cover it loosely with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Do not lift the lid on the slow cooker except when needed. Lifting the lid can significantly increase cooking time because heat and steam escape."
