Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 Onion peeled and chopped
  • 4 Garlic Cloves peeled and chopped
  • 2 Carrots peeled and diced
  • 200 g Button Mushrooms halved
  • 8 Chicken Thighs skinless and boneless
  • 400 g Chopped Tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Puree
  • 100 ml White Wine
  • 100 ml Chicken Stock
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 3 teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs thyme and rosemary work well
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Place the chopped vegetables in the bottom of the slow cooker basin.
    1 Onion, 4 Garlic Cloves, 2 Carrots, 200 g Button Mushrooms
  • Place the chicken thighs on top.
    8 Chicken Thighs
  • Mix together the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, white wine, tomato puree, herbs, and salt and pepper in a jug and pour over the chicken and vegetables.
    400 g Chopped Tomatoes, 2 tablespoon Tomato Puree, 100 ml White Wine, 100 ml Chicken Stock, 1 Bay Leaf, 3 teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs, Salt and Pepper
  • Cook on high for 4 hours (low for 7) with the lid off for the last hour of cooking. To thicken the sauce you can use thickening granules (1-2 tbsp), a cornflour slurry (mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 1 tablespoon of the sauce in a small bowl until a paste forms, then whisk it into the sauce and wait for it to thicken), or gravy granules.

Notes

Variations:
  • While chicken thighs are traditionally used, you could also choose chicken breast or drumsticks. Be mindful of cooking times, as leaner cuts may dry out quicker.
  • Adding a variety of vegetables can improve the dish's nutritional value and enhance the flavour profile. Root vegetables such as parsnips and potatoes complement the dish well.
  • Use red wine for a richer tasting sauce.
  • Swap dried herbs for fresh herbs. Thyme, rosemary, and oregano work well.
 
Storage:
Store - Allow the slow cooker chicken chasseur to cool to room temperature then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheat -  In a saucepan on the hob (stovetop), stirring occasionally, or use a microwave-safe dish with a lid to prevent splattering.
Freeze - It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating.
