I love making this Chicken Chasseur in my crockpot – minimum effort and maximum taste hits the sweet spot!

My crockpot allows for cooking on the stove which eliminates the need for extra pots and pans (and extra washing up!). 

I don’t add much liquid to my slow cooker recipes so you get a more concentrated sauce with all of the taste.

Close up on serving of Slow Cooker Chicken Chasseur

You will need

  • Butter and light olive oil
  • Salt, pepper and a little flour
  • Chicken thighs, on or off the bone – I prefer skinless chicken thighs. Chicken breasts tend to get a bit dry when slow cooked but you could use them in a pinch.
  • Shallots or onions
  • Mushrooms – I like to use a mix of brown and white mushrooms. I hate to admit this but my kids pick them out so feel free to leave them out if you are not a fan!
  • Fresh chopped tomatoes and tomato paste
  • Minced garlic
  • White wine or you can use vermouth
  • Chicken stock cubes
  • Bay leaves
  • The herbs – parsley and tarragon (take a look at my Tarragon Chicken)

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN CHASSEUR

Full measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Please take a look at the steps and video before attempting this recipe!

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour. Put the butter and oil in a pan or directly in your crockpot if it allows for searing. Fry the chicken thighs over medium-high heat until golden. Set aside. If you are short on time you can skip the browning step.

Melt a bit more butter in your pan / crockpot. Sauté the shallots for five-7 minutes, until slightly softened.

Add the wine and continue to cook, stirring, until almost completely reduced. Add the mushrooms and garlic and continue to cook for five minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, chopped fresh tomatoes, salt and herbs. Add the chicken stock cubes and water or wine. Place the chicken thighs on top together with the bay leaves. Cover and cook on HIGH setting for 3-4 hours, or on LOW for 6-7 hours. Stir halfway though if you can.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN CHASSEUR

I have to say mashed potatoes tops my serving suggestions list! This slow cooker chicken casserole is also delicious served with rice or noodles, with plenty of crusty bread to mop up all that delicious Chasseur sauce! 

I prefer to serve white wine such as Pouilly-Fumé with this French dish although a light red wine such as Pinot would also work.

STORING AND FREEZING

You can keep any leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze them for up to three months. Always make sure to reheat until piping hot before serving.

    This chicken chasseur recipe is outstanding! It was absolutely delicious! I cooked it for friends and I can honestly say it came out like restaurant standard food. I used large chicken breasts and substituted the tarragon for fresh tyme as I’m not keen on tarragon. The chicken didn’t dry out and was lovely in the tasty gravy.
    A big hit with my guests. Will definitely be doing this one again! Thanks.
