Slow cooked chicken just falls off the bone, and this recipe beautifully encompasses all the wonderful things about the slow cooking movement. The flavours combine to create a rich and fragrant sauce, and the herbs and brandy really shine through. My favourite part of this recipe is actually the mushrooms. Next time I make it I will probably double the mushroom quota.
Slow cooked Chicken Marengo (inspired by Slow Cooking Collectors Edition)
1.8kg chicken pieces
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bouquet garni
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons brandy
400g crushed tomatoes
12 button mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and brown the chicken.
2. Transfer the chicken to a slow cooker set on low and add garlic, bouquet garni, hot water, brandy, tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover and cook for 6 hours.
3. Serve with chopped parsley and steamed rice.
