Pressure-Cooker Spring-Thyme Chicken Stew

During a long winter (and spring), we were in need of something warm, comforting and bright. This stew always reminds me of the days Mom would make her chicken soup for me. —Amy Chase, Vanderhoof, British Columbia

    I am always looking for recipes that don't contain tomatoes (hubby can't eat). This chicken stew sounds fabulous but am wondering if it woul work in a slow cooker as I do not have a pressure cooker.
