The foundation to any feel-good dinner recipe has to be some sort of meat-and-potato combination. I generally have to leave the house to run errands when I make this because the combination of potatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic, simmering in the slow cooker all day, smells too incredible to resist.
INGREDIENTS
1½ pounds baby red potatoes, halved
1 yellow onion, cut into chunks (about 1 cup)
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips (about 1 cup)
1 poblano pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons slivered garlic cloves
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, or a combination
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup of barbecue sauce
½ cup tomato or V8 juice, or chicken broth
Parsley, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. Coat a 6-quart slow cooker insert with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, green bell pepper, poblano pepper, and garlic and toss to mix. Pour into the slow cooker. Top with the chicken and sprinkle with the cumin and salt.
3. In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce and tomato juice and pour over the slow cooker contents. Cover and cook for 4–6 hours on Low, until the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with parsley and serve.
