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.

Equipment

  • slow cooker

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. When you come back home, a lovely aroma will invite you to the kitchen!
  6. Just serve it with favourite starchy food, such as pasta, rice or vegetables.
  7. Enjoy!
