Healthy Chicken Stew Meal Prep & Storage
Meal Prep – Cook the stew and then allow to cool completely. Scoop single servings into individual containers, or family sized servings into gallon freezer bags (or jars/containers with lids). Frozen Stew – Be sure any container is only filled 2/3 full as the stew will expand in the freezer. Store for up to a month in the freezer. If freezing gallon bags, lay flat to freeze to save storage room. Refrigerated Stew – Will hold in the refrigerator for 4 days. Reheating – Add to a medium or large sauce pot, heat frozen for 30 minutes on low, or defrosted stew for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat.
This creamy chicken stew in crockpot is just 138 calories per cup, and so delicious!
You can make this creamy chicken soup in a slow cooker, or on the stove top. Directions for both methods have been included.
And should you want to skip the wine, we have given a modification for that as well. If you don’t want to buy a full bottle of wine, you can get a can of wine (I like Creamery Chardonnay).

1cupunsweetened almond milk
2cupsfrozen peasoptional
Add the onions, carrots, celery, potato, mushrooms, chicken, chicken stock, white wine, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and pepper to a slow cooker or large pot.
Cook on low (in slow cooker or low heat on stovetop) for 4-6 hours. The longer the better.
Remove 1/2 of the chicken stock and add to a bowl with the cornstarch. Mix together until the lumps are dissolved.
Add the cornstarch mixture, almond milk, and peas (see note below) to the soup.
Mix together and cook on high for an additional hour, uncovered. This will help thicken up the soup.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Note on peas- if you plan on storing this soup for the week, don’t add the peas until you’re reheating each serving. Add 1/8 cup peas per person, add the soup to a pot and cook together. Otherwise they will get mushy.
