Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 10 oz. cremini mushrooms quartered
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp. herbs de provence
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1-2 tsp. beef bouillon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet or frying pan on the stove.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and then coat in flour. Working in stages if necessary, brown the chicken, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place browned chicken on the plate to the side.
  • To the skillet, add tomato paste and allow to carmelize for 1-2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine and whisk to combine.
  • Add chicken stock and beef bouillon paste and whisk until a rich sauce has formed.
  • Place boneless chicken thighs into the crock pot, along with diced tomatoes, mushrooms, minced shallot, garlic, and dried herbs. Pour over the prepared sauce and place lid on top.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Notes

This dish can be adapted and made on the stove in a large heavy pot, like a dutch oven. Follow instructions up to placing the ingredients into the slow cooker. Instead keep everything in the dutch oven and cook over medium low heat on the stove for 45-60 minutes.
