Chicken With Tarragon and Leeks








Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  pounds  baby new potatoes (about 16)
  • small skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds)
  • leeks (white and light green parts), halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1  cup  dry white wine
  • Kosher salt
  • 10-ounce package frozen peas
  • 1/3  cup  heavy cream
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes on the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken, leeks, wine, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Cook, covered, until the chicken and potatoes are tender, on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 7 hours.
  3. Transfer the chicken and all but 4 of the potatoes to plates. Using a fork, smash the remaining potatoes into the cooking liquid to thicken.
  4. Add the peas and cream and cook just until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon over the chicken and sprinkle with the tarragon.
