- 2 pounds baby potatoes quartered
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced, or 8 cloves
- 1 medium onion roughly chopped
- 1 small yellow pepper deseeded and diced
- 1 small red pepper deseeded and diced
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes canned
- 14 oz tomato passata tomato sauce or puree for US readers

Instructions
- Optional step: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan or skillet. Sear skin-side down (if using skin on thighs) first for 3 minutes, until deep golden brown. Rotate and sear the other side for a further 3 minutes.
- Arrange the potatoes in a 6qt slow cooker bowl in single layer. Place the chicken over the potatoes and add the rest of the ingredients over the chicken (except olives and mushrooms).
- Stir to combine; cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
- Add in the mushrooms and olives in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Season with extra salt, to your tastes and serve.
