My family absolutely loves this dish. Serve with some yummy homemade sourdough bread or sprouted toast! Spring, winter, summer, or fall, it doesn’t make a difference at all…it is always good! Make it once, eat on it all week long!
[print_this]Slower Cooker Chicken and Quinoa
1 cup quinoa (soaked overnight in water, drained and rinsed. If you don’t soak still rinse to remove a bitter substance).
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup white wine (dry makes all the difference – the alcohol is cooked out of it. Add extra water if you are wine-free)
2 cups of water
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon of sea salt
4 carrots, cubed (peeled if you do not buy organic)
3 celery, sliced
1 onion, diced
2 chicken (uncooked) breasts (I recommend bone in for a juicier chicken, but boneless makes for easier shredding later)
3 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil
Throw everything in the crock pot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours (high for 4). Remove chicken, shred and mix back into stew.[/print_this]
Surprisingly light, even for the summer!
For THM, this is an E meal!

So do you have a sourdough starter you’d like to share? I’ve wanted to try making this. My sister and her friend shared starter years ago. I know you can buy it, too. How’d you do yours?
I don’t have one yet but will soon and will share for sure! I have been making soaked wheat (fermented) because it is easier. Next is Kombucha and then sourdough. I have a super easy recipe though!

I absolutely love this, Nikki! I am making it again tonight–so easy–and so delicious! I am going to try palm shortening instead of the butter…we’ll see how it works!
Let me know as I will need to make that change too. Coconut oil would work too!

Erin made this for us and it’s amazing!!!
Music to my hungry ears 🙂
Oh, this looks SO good! Must try this one!
It is one of our favorites!
🙂 This makes me smile. 🙂

This looks tasty and quite simple. These are some of my oldest daughter’s favorite foods. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be doubling and popping it into the crockpot Sunday morning. It’s always nice not to heat up our travel trailer with skillet cooking. Thanks!
Awesome! We love it.

I make this recipe for my family with vegan alternatives and it is wonderful!! I use water mixed with a homemade veggie broth powder, olive oil or Earth Balance spread, and sauteed soy curls stirred in towards the end of cooking. We all love it and I feel great about serving it to my family. Thanks!
Hi, we are a family of 6 so this recipe sounds small to me. How many servings would you say it is as written? I found my way here today from the Humbled Homemaker. I cannot wait to look around!

It feeds a family of four with enough for lunch the next day!
This was delicious. Perfect for a fall night and my husband told my son repeatedly about the yummy soup mommy had made for them 🙂
