What You Need
Instructions
In a 6-1/2 quart (6.5 l) slow cooker, arrange chicken thighs in the bottom. Top with garlic, peppers and onion. Drain 1/2 cup (125 ml) of juice from the tomatoes and reserve for another use. Stir flour, balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning into tomatoes and pour over the chicken and vegetables. (Make ahead: cover with lid and refrigerate overnight.)
Cover with lid and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hrs or on High for 4 to 6 hrs.
Turn off slow cooker. Stir in peas and top with Canadian Feta cheese. Cover with lid and let stand for 5 min or until cheese is softened and peas are heated. Sprinkle with parsley (if using).
Tips
Cooking Tips: If serving only four for dinner, divide leftovers into microwave- safe containers and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat for a satisfying packed lunch.
If skinless, bone-in chicken thighs are not available, purchase bone-in and remove and discard the skin.
For the Adventurous: Stir in 1 can (14 oz/796 ml) water packed artichoke hearts, drained and quartered and 1/4 cup (50 ml) whole pitted Kalamata olives with the peas.
