Ingredients

olive/avocado oil, to fry
1 large free-range chicken, cut into
8 pieces (or 6 thighs and 4 drumsticks)
250ml (1 cup) dry white wine
180ml (¾ cup) chicken stock
15ml (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard
4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
½ cupful mixed fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, thyme, basil and sage), finely chopped
3 bay leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
fresh bread, to serve (optional)

Instructions

Set your slow cooker to high and heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Add a splash oil to the pan and brown the chicken on both sides until just turning golden. You will need to do this in 2 batches to not overcrowd the pan. Transfer the browned chicken to the slow cooker.

Mix the wine, stock, mustard, crushed garlic and herbs together, and pour over the chicken. Season to taste and cook on high, 4 hours or on low, 8 hours. Serve with fresh bread, if desired.

Notes

TO MAKE THIS DISH IN THE PRESSURE COOKER Cook the pre-browned chicken in the pressure cooker, 35 minutes, then allow a slow release of pressure, about 10 – 15 minutes. Serve with fresh bread, if desired.
