    White Bean and Chicken Stew

    This chicken and bean stew is great recipe for a busy day.  There’s nothing like a slow cooker chicken recipe for days when you just don’t have the time to spend in the kitchen. My pet peeve with some slow cooker recipes is the amount of work you have to do BEFORE the food goes into the slow cooker. You might as well just cook it on the stove, which defeats the purpose of a slow cooker. Just sayin’. I like slow cooker recipes that don’t require a lot of prep work. I adapted this recipe from one I found in a Family Circle magazine. For my family, hot sauce on the side was a must.
