Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 Spanish onion, halved and sliced
12 large bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
225g pack chorizo picante, thickly sliced
pack of 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks
150g (drained weight) pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives
300ml dry white wine (serve the rest of the bottle with the meal)
300ml chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato purée

Steps:

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry 1 sliced Spanish onion for about 5 mins until golden.
Tip into the slow cooker pot (we used a 6.5-litre model), then fry 12 large bone-in skinless chicken thighs and 225g thickly sliced chorizo picante in the same pan until starting to colour - you will need to do this in two batches.
Add to the slow cooker with 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks and 150g pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives.
Tip 300ml dry white wine, 300ml chicken stock and 1 tbsp tomato purée into the pan.
Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom, then tip into the slow cooker, cover and cook on Low for 6 hrs.
