Notes
You can also make this recipe in a casserole dish in the oven. Cook for 2 hours on 170°C conventional (150°C fan-forced) until the chicken is tender. Add the greens for the last 20 minutes.
If you use chicken thighs, cut them into large pieces and allow a little longer for them to cook – about 4 hours on high in the slow cooker.
