Tip for slow cooker chicken stew:

This recipe like many calls for diced onions. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don't need. It's so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It's so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
