Instructions

1. Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until hot.
2. Sear the chicken skin-side down for about 3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for about 3 minutes until lightly golden. (Optional, adds flavor to the sauce.)
3. Spread the baby potatoes in an even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
4. Place the chicken over the potatoes, then add the onion, garlic, red pepper, carrot, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, parsley, and seasonings on top.
5. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
6. Add the mushrooms and olives during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
7. Let it finish cooking, then gently stir so the mushrooms and olives mix into the sauce.
8. Spoon into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if you like.
