Servings:

4

Ingredients
  • 1 Boneless Rolled Chicken Roast

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • Zest + juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp rosemary (optional)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • Cracked pepper

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • ¾ cup chicken stock or white wine

  • Optional: baby potatoes or halved carrots in the base

Cooking Instructions
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest and juice, mustard, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.

  • Prep the chicken: Pat the roast dry. Rub the mix all over the chicken, really working it into the outside.

  • Load the slow cooker:

    • Layer sliced onion (and veg if using) on the bottom.

    • Pour stock or wine around the sides.

    • Place the chicken on top, seam-side down.

  • Cook low and slow:

    • On low for 6–7 hours

    • Or high for 3.5–4.5 hours
      Until the internal temp hits 75°C and it’s juicy as.

  • Crisp it up (optional): Transfer to a tray and blast under the grill or in the oven at 220°C for 10–15 mins to crisp the outside.

  • Rest & serve: Let it sit for 10 mins before slicing. Spoon over some of the garlicky lemony juices and serve with mash or roasties.
