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 peppers, chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika and cumin; reduce stock to 150 ml.

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

   Taste and season with more pepper before serving.

6. 06

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