This slow-cooked herb infused chicken has a flavourful mushroom and red wine sauce with cannellini beans and shallots. Prepare the ingredients ahead and freeze, so you can just pop them in the crockpot or slow cooker when you’re in a rush. So easy!
1 Using a rolling pin, flatten chicken thighs. In a freezer bag or large, shallow bowl, place chicken, peppercorns, garlic, half of the herbs and half of the oil. Mix to coat chicken.
2 In a small pan, place remaining oil and set over medium heat. Add shallots and remaining herbs and cook until lightly golden. Set aside.
3 In jug, combine the tomato paste, mustard, wine and ½ cup of water.
4 Preheat slow cooker for 5 minutes on low. Add chicken, then shallots, mushrooms, beans and finally sauce. Add 1 cup boiling water. Use a large spoon to break up ingredients a little.
6 Cover and cook for 7-8 hours. Adjust seasoning. Serve with toasted sourdough and thyme.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free bread and check tomato paste and mustard are gluten free.
Handy hints for slow-cooker freezer bags: make sure you use proper freezer bags.
Remove all air from the bags once they are filled.
Label each bag clearly including the date of freezing.
Freeze recipe bags in a group together.
Keep bags as flat as possible when freezing.
Remove bags from the freezer at least two hours before placing in the slow cooker. Or remove the bags from the freezer the night before, store in the fridge and reduce the amount of boiling water added to them by half.
Preheat slow cooker before adding the bag contents.
Always add meat portion to the cooker first.
Always add liquid bag last.
Add boiling water to the cooker as the last ingredient when stated in a recipe.
