Slow cooker chicken thighs recipe | Good Food

Chicken with peas and sauce in bowl with bread

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

Method

step 1
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.
step 2
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.
