    Title: Slow Cooker Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Stew
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Greens, Wine, Cheese
    Yield: 5 servings

    2 tb Unsalted butter
    1 lg Sweet onion; fine chopped
    Salt & black pepper
    3 Celery ribs; chopped
    8 cl Garlic; smashed, chopped
    2 1/4 lb Boned, skinned chicken
    - thighs
    1 c Chicken stock
    1/2 c White wine
    1/2 Lemon; juiced (1 1/2 tb)
    1 ts Red-pepper flakes
    10 oz Box frozen cut spinach
    12 oz Jar marinated artichoke
    - hearts; drained
    1/2 c Cream cheese (4 oz)
    1/2 c Fine chopped fresh dill
    6 Scallions; thin sliced; for
    - topping
    Grated Parmesan cheese; for
    - topping

    In a large (12") skillet over medium-high heat, melt the
    butter. Add the onion, season lightly with salt, and
    cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and
    translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and garlic
    and stir until softened and fragrant, adjusting the heat
    as necessary to avoid scorching, about 2 minutes. Scrape
    the mixture into a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker.

    Add the chicken thighs, stock, wine and lemon juice to
    the slow cooker. Season with the red-pepper flakes, 1
    teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper; mix
    well to combine. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. At
    this point, the dish can hold on the warm setting for
    several hours.

    About 20 minutes before you are ready to eat, add the
    frozen spinach and the artichoke hearts to the slow
    cooker. Cook on low until the spinach is hot and can be
    stirred into the stew. (For spinach that comes frozen in
    a block, this can take 15 to 20 minutes; frozen cut
    spinach in a bag takes less time to defrost and cook.)

    Add the cream cheese and dill, and stir until the cream
    cheese melts.

    Using the back of a spoon, press the chicken against the
    side of the pot to break it up into pieces. Taste and
    add more salt and black pepper, if necessary. Divide the
    stew among bowls and top with scallions and Parmesan.
