Cajun Chicken Stew

In a slow cooker, stir together onion, carrots, garlic, chickpeas and flour. Season with salt and pepper.

Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub chicken with seasoning. Add chicken to skillet in a single layer; work in batches if necessary. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total, turning once (chicken should not be cooked through). Add to slow cooker. Repeat with remaining chicken if necessary.

Reduce heat to medium; pour vegetable juice into skillet. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up browned bits from bottom. Cook 2 minutes; add to slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low until chicken is fork-tender, 4 to 5 hours.
