RUSTIC CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER

RUSTIC CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER

Serves 6

Negligible Syns

2kg skinless chicken pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 red peppers, deseeded and sliced
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
2x400g cans chopped tomatoes
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 handful of pitted green olives - 8 olives = 1 Syn
3 bay leaves
2 chicken stock cubes, crumbled

Season the chicken well and place in the slow cooker (brown first, if preferred).
Put the chicken and all the other ingredients into the slow cooker.
Cook on Low for 7 hours or High for 4 hours.
Check the chicken is thoroughly cooked through and, if not thick enough, transfer to a large pan and boil rapidly on the hob until desired consistency is reached.

I sometimes add 1 teaspoon of anchovy paste from Waitrose (1 Syn per tablespoon) to it but know it isn't to everyone's taste.
