SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN PROVENCAL
As a full-time working mom, I am always looking for really good recipes for my crock pot. I am always skeptical about slow-cooker recipes but this one is a winner. Again, I am always willing to go the extra mile with ingredients and preparation if I think it will be worth the effort. This one works well on a weekend or if you put it on during your lunch break since you cook it low for 4 hours only. I served this with a parmesan couscous tossed with diced artichoke hearts and lemony green beans topped with tomato and basil feta cheese. This one is company worthy, I was impressed and that doesn't come easily for me!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are a good option. They will stay moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
- Sear the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a more flavorful crust.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and garlic.
- Add herbs and spices. These will help to flavor the stew. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the stew. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours. This will allow the chicken to become tender and the vegetables to cook through.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
