Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from your chicken thighs and patting them dry with a paper towel, then set them aside.

  3. Place the prepared chicken thighs directly over the vegetable layer in the crockpot, spread out evenly for thorough cooking.
  4. Carefully pour low-sodium chicken broth over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is well submerged.
  5. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the top of the ingredients; stir gently to combine the seasonings.
  6. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours.
  7. Once cooking is complete, remove the lid and stir in heavy cream until fully blended.
  8. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving and enjoy your hearty stew!
