Instructions
- Mix 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and sprinkle over the chicken.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet (I love using cast iron) over medium-high heat. Place about 1/2 of the chicken pieces in the skillet skin side down. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes each side. Place browned chicken on a plate and set to the side until ready to use. Repeat until all of the chicken is browned.
- Add onions, peppers, olives, mushrooms, garlic, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, and remaining 1/2 salt to the slow cooker. Nestle the browned chicken into the sauce.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours.
- Spoon the sauce over some polenta, mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice, top with a piece of perfectly braised chicken, and enjoy!
