If you’re looking for a hearty, flavour-packed dinner that practically cooks itself, this Slow Cooked Chicken Chasseur is the recipe you’ve been waiting for. Rich with French countryside charm, this classic chicken stew is slow-cooked to perfection with tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a tomato-based sauce that tastes way fancier than the effort required.

Chicken Chasseur, or “Hunter’s Chicken”, is one of those recipes that tells a story. The word Chasseur comes from the French word for hunter. Traditionally, the dish was whipped up with wild game and mushrooms foraged after a day out in the forest. I’m a big fan of mushroom foraging myself (there’s something so satisfying about finding the perfect porcini), so this dish holds a special place in my heart.

This slow cooked version is adapted from the Chicken Chasseur recipe in the Skinnymixers cookbook A Little Taste of France .We’ve transformed it into a rich, hearty slow cooker version that’s perfect for winter warmers and weeknight wins 🙌 If you have Cookidoo, this is the recipe that was included in the Skinnymixer’s Little Taste of Mini Collection. We’ve now provided slow cooker instructions and conventional cooking methods for the community. If you have a TM7 or TM6 – you can use the special slow cook mode!

What To Serve With Chicken Chasseur

There’s something truly special about spooning this over a generous scoop of Silky Sweet Potato Mash or the Silky Cauliflower Puree and adding some crisp steamed greens on the side. But if you’re feeling nostalgic (or feeding fussy eaters), it’s just as delicious with pasta, rice or even buttery mashed potatoes.

Pro tip: Make a double batch – this one tastes even better the next day. The sauce thickens and deepens in flavour, making leftovers something to look forward to.
