Even when you love to cook there are nights you don't have the time or energy.

Thank goodness for slow cookers! Cook once, enjoy a dozen different meals. And this dish is both quick to make and delicious to eat.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 4 hours
Makes: 12 servings

Ingredients
1.5kg boneless chicken
1 onion, roughly chopped
100g sundried tomato pesto (or equivalent chopped sundried tomatoes)
1 x 400g tin tomatoes
1 fresh tomato, cut into large chunks
1/4 cup white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons plain flour
3/4 cup sour cream
Chopped parsley, to garnish

To serve:
pasta
steamed green vegetables or green salad

Method
  • Place chicken in your slow cooker first. Whole breasts are fine. I didn't brown mine first but if you prefer, you can brown it in a frypan.

  • Ingredients for the sundried tomato sauce

  • Add remaining ingredients except sour cream and parsley. Sprinkle the flour over the top last.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours. Check after 3.5 hours and if the sauce is too runny, leave the lid off for the remaining half an hour.

  • Ta da Its ready to eat.

  • Add the sour cream, then using a fork, gently pull the chicken apart.
  • Serve over pasta with a generous amount of parsley sprinkled on top, beside green vegetables or a simple green salad.

  • Enjoy leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day on a bread roll, with cous cous or in a pie.
