Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Fody’s shallot infused oil - it is a great alternative for those who can't have onion as it gives its flavour and aroma to the dishes.
  • 8 chicken thighs no skin, no bone
  • 1/2 leek green part only (160 g)
  • 1 pepper /half red and half yellow/
  • 1 tbsp mixed herbs
  • 1/2 large aubergine /180 g/ diced small
  • 2 carrots grated
  • 500 ml low FODMAP chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • salt, pepper
  • A 550 g jar of Fody’s Marinara sauce - it is another tested Fody's product which is onion, garlic and gluten free. It is full of flavour and it is quite a big portion, so depending how much you add to it, it can last you for 4-6 portion. I used it here for a slow cooked dish, but since it is a cooked sauce already, it is perfectly good just heated up and served with some pasta.

Instructions
 

  • This recipe is for a slow cooker, but the dish can be also cooked in a casserole dish or a medium pot. Time of stunning the meat and vegetables will shorten, even to 1-2 hours. Initial steps are exactly the same.
  • First, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Take a removable pot out of the slow cooker and place it onto stove and a medium heat. Place a tablespoon of shallot infused oil inside. Fry the chicken thighs on both sides until golden.
  • It is time now to add all of the vegetables. Simmer everything for a few minutes and add the Low FODMAP chicken stock.Mix it all and bring to the boil. Add the Marinara sauce, tomato paste and mixed herbs.
  • Bring to the boil again and place the removable pot back in the slow cooker. Turn it on for about 6-8 hours, depending on power used (higher setting requires shorter cooking times and lower setting requires longer cooking times).
  • When you come back home, a lovely aroma will invite you to the kitchen!
  • Just serve it with favourite starchy food, such as pasta, rice or vegetables.
  • Enjoy!
