Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 1/2 pounds skinless chicken thighs ((bone-in or boneless, whichever you prefer))
  • 8 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 14 ounces Guinness stout beer ((1 can))
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables ((1 bag))
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup water

Instruction

  • Place the onion in the crock pot.
  • Layer the chicken on top of the onion.
  • Distribute the bacon and mushrooms over the chicken.
  • In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the Guinness, broth, garlic, pepper, salt, and thyme.
  • Pour the Guinness mixture over the chicken, cover, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours.
  • About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, combine the flour with the water, then slowly add the mixture to the crock pot while stirring. (If you prefer, you can remove the chicken first and replace it when this step is complete. But I'm a little lazy and so I usually just leave it in!)
  • Add in the mixed veggies, re-cover, and cook until they are heated through, about another 20 minutes.
