Ingredients
 

  • 1kg skinless chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 250g button mushrooms, chunky cut
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 150ml cooking cream
  • 1 tbsp cornflour + 2tsp water

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken thighs and flour into a clean plastic freezer bag and secure tightly (leaving air in bag) and shake to flour chicken pieces.
  • Sear floured chicken in butter until sealed and slightly browned. I did this in my searing slow cooker, or you can do it on the stove top. Transfer sealed chicken to slow cooker.
  • Add onion, mushroom, garlic, thyme, tarragon, S&P to slow cooker.
  • Combine stock and wine and pour over.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5hrs approx.
  • Prior to serving, remove chicken with slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Mix cornflour with 2 tsp water to form smooth liquid.
  • Return searing slow cooker to hotplate (or transfer sauce to saucepan on stove) and add cream.
  • Add cornflour mix and stir over heat for approx 5mins until nice thick sauce consistency is achieved.
  • Serve chicken with sauce poured over.
  • Serve on brown rice or on creamy mashed potato, with steamed vegetables.
