Ingredients
- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.3 to 1.4 kg) cut-up chicken (I use leg and thigh quarters, cut apart at the joints.)
- 8 ounces (225 g) turnips (two turnips roughly the size of tennis balls), peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chicken bouillon concentrate
- 12 ounces (360 ml) light beer
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces, or 410 g) tomatoes with green chiles
- guar or xanthan (optional)
Method
- Put the turnips, celery, carrot, onion, bouillon, and chicken in a slow cooker
- Pour the beer and the tomatoes over the lot
- Cover the slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for 8 to 9 hours
- When the times up, remove the chicken with tongs and place it on a serving platter
- Then use a slotted spoon to scoop out the vegetables
- Put 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of them in a blender and pile the rest on and around the chicken on the platter
- Scoop out 1 1/2 to 2 cups (360 to 480 ml) of the liquid left in the slow cooker and put it in the blender with the vegetables
- Puree the vegetables and broth and thicken the mixture a little more with the guar or xanthan, if it seems necessary
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve as a sauce with the chicken and vegetables
