Slow Cooker Chicken with Butter Beans and Sage

Method

Make it happen

1. 01

   Use fully thawed chicken. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and soften the onion for 4 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds (optional, but adds flavour).

2. 02

   Put the chicken into the slow cooker with the onion, garlic, stock, salt and pepper.

3. 03

   Add sage at the beginning; add the drained butter beans for the last hour of cooking.

4. 04

   Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (75°C in the centre).

5. 05

   Stir through spinach for the final 10 minutes until wilted.

6. 06

   Stir gently, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve piping hot with potatoes, rice or bread as preferred.
