Cooking Instructions

  • Brown your chicken first in a frying pan with hot oil (or in your slow cooker if it’s suitable for browning).

  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve with your chosen side dish.

Notes

You can use skin on or off chicken thighs for this recipe. The skins can go a little soft in the slow cooker but they do keep the meat very tender. You can also use bone in or bone out chicken thighs.
