4 chicken breasts

1 tbsp oil

1 tsp papika

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

250ml chicken stock

50ml white wine

Istruzioni

1 Drizzle the chicken breasts with the oil, then coat in the paprika, basil, oregano and thyme and season to taste. Heat a nonstick frying pan over a high heat on the hob, then place the chicken in the pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side.

2 Place the chicken with all the remaining ingredients, except the soft cheese and basil leaves, in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, then stir in the soft cheese and sprinkle over the fresh basil.

Note

Tuscan chicken is incredible. I always cooked this recipe in a frying pan but for my first book I thought I would recreate it as a slow-cooker dish. I haven't made it in a saucepan since. (Recipe photo on next page.)
