Steps:

• Place onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, garlic, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and poultry seasoning in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Stir to combine.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the chicken on top of vegetables.
• Pour chicken broth over everything, cover, and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
• When there are about 30 minutes left in the cooking time, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and chop or shred the meat. Return chicken meat to the slow cooker and discard bones. Discard bay leaf and herb stems (if using fresh herbs).
• In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the stew and cook on HIGH without the lid for 30 minutes (or until broth thickens a little bit). Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, just before serving.

• Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended.
• Add cornstarch mixture and frozen peas or edamame (and tofu, if using) to the slow cooker, stir well.
• Re-cover and cook on high-heat setting an 30 additional minutes.
• Serve with hot cooked rice.
• Note: I don't eat much meat and prefer more vegetables, so I often add extra firm cubed tofu at the last 30 minute mark. Tasty! Also good with small new potatoes added at the beginning, which is another good way to stretch the recipe. :).
