Steps:
- Heat the slow cooker to low. Put the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken and fry, skin-side down, for 4-5 mins until crisp. Turn and fry for 3-4 mins more until golden all over. Put on a plate and set aside.
- Tip the shallots into the pan and fry for 10 mins over a medium heat until soft. Add the garlic and mushrooms and fry for 10 mins more until the mushrooms are golden. Pour in the wine and bubble for a few minutes until reduced by half. Stir in the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes and herbs. Season well and bring to a simmer.
- Tip the sauce into the slow cooker, and top with the chicken thighs (in one layer, if possible). Pour over the chicken stock until the chicken thighs are covered, adding a little more if needed. Cover and cook for 6-8 hrs until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender. Transfer the chicken to a plate and bubble the sauce for a few minutes more with the lid off, if you prefer a thicker sauce (you can only do this if there's a reduce function on the slow cooker. If not, pour the sauce into a pan and simmer until reduced). Remove the skin from the chicken before serving, if you prefer.
- Sprinkle over the parsley and serve the chicken and sauce with buttery mash, jackets, pasta or small roast potatoes, if you like.

CHICKEN CHASSEUR (HUNTER-STYLE CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of clarified butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place chicken in skin side down and cook until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side. Remove chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac and cook until completely reduced. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Add the stock and tomato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ("nappe") and then swirl in the butter ("monter au beurre"). Once the butter is added, the sauce can not be further reduced because it will break. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tarragon and chervil.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the breastbone from the breast. Cut each breast into 2 even pieces on the bias. Cut the legs into 2 pieces at the joint and on the bias and remove the thighbones. Serve 1 leg piece and 1 breast piece. Make sure only 1 piece contains a bone. Serve on hot plates, napped with the sauce.
CHICKEN CACCIATORE IN A SLOW COOKER
This is a very simple meal to make. You just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook during the day. I like to serve this over thin spaghetti (especially garlic and herb thin spaghetti when I can find it).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken pieces: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best cuts for this recipe, as they will cook evenly and quickly in the slow cooker.
- Brown the chicken before cooking: Searing the chicken in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is what will give your chicken chasseur its flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful broth or stock. You can also add white wine, lemon juice, or herbs to the cooking liquid to enhance the flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken pieces.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken chasseur can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
