Slow Cooker Peach and Chicken Stew Recipe

Photo: Tasting Table

A Persian khoresh, the Farsi term for "stew," typically highlights one vegetable cooking slowly with aromatic spices and meat to make a rich and hearty stew. However, this dish, khoresh-e holu, highlights peaches instead, cooking them with turmeric and chicken to make a sweet-and-sour dish, perfect to beat the summer heat (although it's great year-round). The best part is this dish comes together in a slow cooker, so you don't even have to turn on the stove.

This recipe really is foolproof, but you do have to pick ripe peaches to provide the sweetness in the dish. And because the stew is so easy, we encourage you to get creative with your rice. Amp it up with Persian flavors like saffron for the perfect accompaniment to your khoresh.
