Ingredients:

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s take a quick look at the ingredients you’ll need:

– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 chicken thighs
– 2 pinches of sea salt and black pepper
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 carrots, sliced
– 3 garlic cloves, crushed
– 220 g (2.25 cups) button mushrooms, quartered
– 175 ml (0.75 cups) white wine
– 400 ml (1.75 cups) chicken stock
– 1 tablespoon tomato puree
– 200 g (1.33 cups) chopped tomatoes (tinned)
– 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown them for about 4 minutes on one side. Flip them over and brown for an additional 3 minutes on the other side.
3. Transfer the browned chicken thighs to the slow cooker.
4. Add the finely chopped onion, sliced carrots, crushed garlic cloves, and quartered button mushrooms to the slow cooker.
5. In a jug, combine the chicken stock, white wine, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, and dried thyme. Mix well.
6. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, ensuring that everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to break the chicken thighs while mixing.
7. Set the slow cooker to high heat and let it cook for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender.

Tips and Notes:

– While slow cooking doesn’t release a lot of liquid, be cautious not to add too much liquid to the dish, as it may result in excess liquid.
– If your chicken chasseur turns out too thin, you can thicken the sauce with a cornflour slurry or add some gravy granules to achieve the desired consistency.
– Feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on your preferences. You can add bell peppers, peas, or even potatoes to customize the dish to your liking.
