Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Fall Chicken Stew

Begin by dicing one onion and sautéing it in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil for about 5 minutes until translucent, then set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet with the sautéed onions and cook for an additional minute. Scrape it into your slow cooker.
In the slow cooker, combine the shredded chicken, canned pumpkin, sautéed onion and garlic mix, ground cinnamon, dried thyme, and chicken broth. Stir well.
Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat for 6 hours.
After cooking, check the consistency and season with salt and black pepper. If needed, cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered to thicken.
Serve the stew hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs. Enjoy with crusty bread or a side salad.
