What's-in-the-House Stew

I decided to cube defrosted chicken breasts and put them in the slow cooker with chopped garlic. Then I chopped three white onions, added pesto and two cans of tomato puree. I chopped seven stalks of celery and about six carrots and the last three potatoes and added them. Then, I chopped black olives and added them too. The pot is full. In a few hours I will taste it and probably add olive oil and salt and pepper. It's gray out and the aroma of the simmering stew is comforting.

It came out great. There was no need to add olive oil, just salt and pepper. We topped it with grated Romano cheese. The chicken and vegetables were moist and firm. It was just like beef stew but it was a chicken stew.
