Slow Cooker Chicken Butternut Squash Stew

Didn’t have sage so went with thyme & rosemary, and took the instant pot option with a 20 min natural release - came out beautiful! Really nice light broth, sweetness from the squash, and the chicken is just enough to give it some substance.

Very bland, even with added seasonings and heavy cream. Notes to self -- Use entire box of cut butternut squash: don't half it. Diced or shredded carrots would fare better to get in every bite. Try adding some sweet potato or even yellow. Also try adding coconut milk instead and more seasonings like turmeric, paprika, ginger, etc. Minced onion and garlic fared well. Possibly try roasted broccoli or Brussel sprouts at the end. Shredded cheese was good addition at the end.
