I call this Summer Chicken Stew, not only because it is chock-full of the flavors of the season, but also because it is cooked using a slow cooker, perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the house.

I served this up for dinner one night after a day of enjoying their company and the pool. It cooked while we relaxed. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.
I will be back on Wednesday to share a recipe for Sweet Corn Risotto and on Friday with a Grilled Zucchini Carbonara. Hope to see you then.

Summer Stew...I just love the sound of that! And now that I'm currently home all day...I can actually use the slow cooker. I always have to keep an eye on a certain kitty that likes to lick the steam on the rim of the crockpot. Fun stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is too funny. Perhaps you could set it up in a room where you could close the door.
DeleteHow easy is that! So much nutrition too. I don’t have cannellini beans often enough!
ReplyDeleteI love white beans.
DeleteWe eat so, so much chicken and my guys get bored with it. This is exactly what I need to liven up the menu!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how they enjoy it, Jolene.
