Method
- Turn the slow-cooker on. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Season and dust the chicken in flour. Sear the chicken on all sides and then place in the slow-cooker.
- Heat the remaining oil and then add the shallots. Season and sauté for 10 minutes until soft and then add the vinegar. Let it deglaze for a few minutes and then add the wine, stock, and half the tarragon.
- Bring to a simmer and then pour over the chicken in the slow-cooker. Place the lid on and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours low until the chicken is cooked through with no pink showing.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking add the crème fraîche. Sprinkle the remaining tarragon over and serve with rice or mashed potato.
