Not So Tex-Mex Slow Cooker Chicken

When I first found this recipe, it sounded really nice, but the ingredients, wow, but I am going to leave the ingredients the same as listed and I will have to make this to check this out. Now the recipe called for 10 chicken thighs, I am going to scale that back a bit as our thighs are a bit larger than the US. This is a must try. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 chicken thighs, skinless, bone in, fat trimmed off
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 4 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1-2 packages fresh mushrooms, sliced, Straw, Shitakii, and King Oyster would be great options
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 can tomato sauce, OR make this from a shortcut on this site
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 green olives with pimento, BET YOU DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! Super Collosal in size
  • 1 tablespoon olive juice, OR THAT!
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Except for the chicken or fresh cilantro, put everything into your slow cooker and mix well.
  • Once mixed, add the chicken thighs and push them into the mix to cover.
  • Cover the pot and cook on Low setting for 6 hours or High setting for 4 hours. Serve with a bit of fresh chopped cilantro on top.

Notes

There is a lot of interpretation with this recipe.
I am going to base this on what I just bought in April 2016, I bought 5 quarters, used 5 legs for one recipe, and have 5 thighs in the freezer for another recipe. Cost was 100 Baht for 2 kilos. To say the thighs are 50 Baht is correct. Everything else is minimal. The cost for 5 servings would be 30 cents per serving.
Now serving, that is wide open. The sauce is screaming for pasta. My report soon on this.
Shortcut: Tomato Sauce.

    Sounds unusually interesting. I like the sound of the combination of tastes here. A “must-try” for me 😀

    Chickens that are given a life outside and allowed to live longer than a few month surprisingly tend to be larger… and more healthy.
