Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp butter
8 chicken thighs (or fillets if you prefer)
8 spring onions, cut into lengths
150ml chicken stock
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp double cream or crème fraîche
100g frozen peas

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker. Melt the butter in a frying pan and quickly brown the chicken thighs all over. Make sure the skin picks up plenty of colour. Season, then put them in the slow cooker. Brown the spring onions and add them to the slow cooker as well. Add the stock, mustard and honey and cook on low for 4 hrs.
  • Stir in the cream or crème fraîche and peas, then cook for a further 15 mins with the lid off. Re-crisp up the chicken skin under the grill, if you like.

This goes into the cooker quickly, with no precooking and chicken straight from the freezer. I like to put it in before we leave for church so I can come home to a nice meal. Serve with a green salad and some steamed veggies.
