Cut chicken into serving pieces. Pat each piece dry and season with salt and pepper
and roll in flour. In a heavy frying pan, heat the oil and butter. Add the chicken pieces
and cook over a medium heat until golden, turning frequently. Remove from the frying
pan drain and place in the Slow Cooker. Add the garlic, bouquet garni, hot water,
brandy tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover and cook on 1 (Low) for 6 – 8 hours or 2 (High)
for 4 – 6 hours. Serve on a bed of hot fluffy rice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. To
thicken the sauce, blend together 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of butter until
smooth. After the chicken has been removed, turn the Slow Cooker to 2 (High) and drop
the butter mixture into the Slow Cooker in small pieces. Stir and allow to simmer about
10 minutes.

Baked Potatoes
These are perfect for the barbecue.
Fill the Slow Cooker with scrubbed and buttered medium sized potatoes (it will hold
