Tender chicken and potatoes in the slowcooker with a stock base. This is a braise – not a roast – so expect a soft texture and juicy sauce after 4–6 hours.

  • Slowcooker

    • 1.8 lb Chicken thighs with skin
    • 1.5 lb Waxy potatoes, 3–4 cm chunks
    • 2 stk Carrots, chunky pieces (optional)
    • 1 stk Onion, wedges
    • about 1.1 cup Chicken stock
    • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
    • 1 tsp Dried thyme
    • 1 tbsp Oil or butter for browning (optional)
    • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep vegetables and chicken

    1. Cut potatoes into 3–4 cm chunks (larger than for oven/airfryer).

    Layer in the slowcooker

    1. Put potatoes, carrots and onion in the bottom. Spread tomato paste, thyme, salt and pepper.
    2. Place chicken on top. Pour 2.5 dl stock down the side – liquid should reach about mid-potato, not fully cover the chicken.

Tips

Preparation

Cooking

  • • Do not open the lid unnecessarily early – you lose heat and time.
