Ingredients
To Make The Chicken
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 (3 pound-1.36 kg) bag of golden or red potatoes peeled and quartered
- 4 to 5 small shallots (250 grams) peeled and quartered
- 1 tablespoon salt plus 1 teaspoon
- 1 whole chicken about 4 to 5 lbs
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and shredded
- 1 ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Allspice seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
To Make The Healthy Gravy (Optional)
- Chicken drippings from the slow cooker
- 6 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
Make The Chicken & Potatoes Dish
- Coat the bottom of the crockpot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the potatoes and 4 shallots (reserve one). Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and toss to combine.
- Thoroughly pat dry the chicken. Generously season the whole bird with 1 tablespoon of salt (incl. the inside of the chicken). Then, place the chicken breast side up on top of the vegetables.
- Divide the remaining quartered shallot and garlic on top of the chicken and between the legs and wings.
- Evenly season the chicken with turmeric, Allspice, and black pepper.
- Coat the chicken with the remaining olive oil (2 tbsp).
- Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.
- With a slotted spoon and tongs, transfer the chicken to a large serving plate. Surround it with potatoes and onions. Pour over some chicken drippings over the chicken and potatoes before serving, or proceed to make my healthy gravy next.
Make The Healthy Gravy (Optional)
- Once the chicken and veggies are removed from the slow cooker, transfer any chicken drippings to a small saucepan (you will have a lot of liquid).
- Place on high heat and let it come to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, stir in the almond flour and Allspice.
- Stir continuously and vigorously for one to two minutes with a whisk until the sauce somewhat thickens and is super hot.
- Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour some over the chicken and potatoes dish and serve the rest in a gravy boat or serving bowl at the table.
Notes
- Helpful Tips:
- You'll need a minimum 6 qt slow cooker to fit all the ingredients above.
- When removing the chicken, the meat is so soft that it might fall apart. Use a slotted spoon with tongs to pick it up, or transfer the larger chicken pieces to a large serving plate.
- Making the gravy is optional, but highly recommended. It's delicious when served with this chicken and potatoes dish.
- If desired, serve with a large Italian salad.
