Equipment

  • 3L Slow Cooker
  • Fry pan

Ingredients
 

  • 750 grams chicken thigh fillets, cut into strips
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp Minced garlic
  • 300 ml cooking cream - see notes below
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Ground paprika
  • 1 tbsp Chicken stock powder - I always use this Massel brand
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 10 large fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips (+ extra to garnish)
  • 200 grams sundried tomato strips, (drain oil well on paper towel)
  • 1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese (+ extra to garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a frying pan heat butter and add minced garlic and chicken strips.
    Cook on high heat for 5-10mins to brown/seal chicken (see notes below)
    Add to slow cooker
  • Combine all other ingredients, except the cheese, and pour over chicken. Stir to combine.
  • Slow cook on low for 3hrs with Tea Towel Trick in place
  • Stir in cheese in the final 30mins of cooking time
  • Garnish with a little extra cheese and small fresh basil leaves
  • NOTES:
    Cooking cream is available in cold or shelf packs in supermarkets. It resists splitting when heated. If you must use regular cream in this recipe then add a tsp of cornflour to it first to help lesson the risk of that splitting.
    While the browning step gives a lovely colour to the final dish, it could be skipped if you prefer. If you do not pre brown the chicken then add an extra 30-40mins to your slow cooking time
