There are quite a few ingredients, but, despite that, the recipe was super easy to make. :) So, grab your crock pot and go make this for dinner!!
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces.
1 tsp. Chinese 5 spice powder
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1T vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 -8oz package sliced, fresh mushrooms
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth, divided
1T cornstarch
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 3/4" pieces
2T soy sauce
2 green onions, cut into 1/2" pieces
1T sesame oil
3 cups hot, cooked rice
Directions:
Toss chicken with 5 spice powder and pepper flakes. Heat vegetable oil in skillet. Add onion and chicken. Cook about 5 minutes (until chicken is browned). Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
Combine 1/4 cup broth with the cornstarch and set aside. Put chicken mixture, bell pepper, soy sauce, and remaining broth in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours or until peppers are tender.
Stir in green onions, sesame oil and cornstarch mixture. Cook 30 - 45 more minutes, or until thickened.
Place cooked rice into bowls and ladle chicken stew over the top.
This makes about 6 servings, so if there are only two of you at home you can enjoy the left overs the next day for lunch :)
