Recipe by chef Sarah Moulton, published in local paper. I have not made this but think it has potential, as it uses chicken thighs and has a shorter cook cycle. I would likely keep the potatoes in larger pieces, they seem too thinly sliced, but time will tell.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • lbs yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick1 1⁄2 lbs
  • tablespoons olive oil, divided3 tablespoons
  • kosher salt
  • lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs3 lbs
  • ground black pepper
  • tablespoons all-purpose flour2 tablespoons
  • cup thinly sliced yellow onion1 cup
  • tablespoon minced garlic1 tablespoon
  • cup dry white wine1⁄4 cup
  • cup chopped pepperoncini pepper1 cup
  • cup pitted kalamata olive1 cup
  • lemon, cut into 8 wedges1
  • tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary2 tablespoons
  • cup low sodium chicken broth1⁄2 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a large slow cooker (6 qt), toss the potatoes with 1 tbl. of the oil and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining 2 tbl. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Flour half the chicken, shaking off excess, and add to skillet skin-side down. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker, placing skin side up on top of the potatoes. Repeat with remaining chicken.

  3. 3

    Pour off all but 2 tbl. of fat in the skillet, then return it to medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, for one minutes. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

  4. 4

    Return the skillet to high heat and add the wine, stirring and scraping to deglaze. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half, then add to the slow cooker.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining ingredients, tucking them among the chicken thighs. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 1/2 hours or high for 2 1/2 hours.
