  • Transfer chicken mixture to the bottom of a slow cooker. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, beer, and Worcestershire.
  • Mix chicken broth and tomato paste together in a small bowl and pour into the slow cooker. Sprinkle poultry seasoning and remaining paprika over top.
  • Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are softened and flavors have blended, on Low, 7 to 8 hours, or High, about 4 hours. To thicken, combine cornstarch and cold water, mix thoroughly, and stir into the stew 1 hour before serving. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
