Can you make tomato chicken stew with canned tomatoes?

Can you make tomato chicken stew in a slow cooker?

How do you reheat tomato chicken stew without drying out the chicken?

Reheat tomato chicken stew gently in a covered saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if the sauce has thickened, and heat until the chicken is steaming hot throughout; avoid prolonged boiling, which can toughen it.

What is Tomato chicken stew?

Tomato chicken stew is a home-style dish of chicken pieces simmered until tender in a tomato-based sauce. In Turkey, where this version is a familiar everyday meal, cooks often build the sauce with onion and seasonings, with details varying from one household to another.

The chicken stays soft while the sauce turns rich, glossy and gently tangy. It is commonly served with rice, bulgur or bread to soak up the sauce; a simple salad makes a fresh side. Chicken gives the dish a protein-forward character, with 13.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and serve it with vegetables instead of a large portion of rice.
