Really good, surprisingly. I cooked on hi for 2 1/2 hours, putting the beans in during the last hour & that was perfect--the thighs would have cooked to death at 4 hours. Next time I will up the number of thighs I use since most everyone eats 2, & the amount of bean mixture would support that. Browning might be nice, but the combo of the spices & the sauce gave the chicken a nice color. A little spicy, I might change the tomatoes to diced with chiles instead of the mexican stewed & leave out the extra can of chiles. Quick & easy to prep, this will be a regular. Served with a salad & sugar snap peas.
Peasant Stew
Karry Hosford
The chicken thighs stay moist and tender in this easy slow-cooker recipe. Smokey cumin and Mexican-style stewed tomatoes bring a little kick to this hearty stew.
