This recipe was shared by Stephanie U., and per her recipe, she says it is an unusual and delicious recipe that moves the delectable combination of hot peppers and peanuts into the main course. Works best in a larger (minimum 5 quart) slow cooker.

1. In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, salt and peppercorns and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
2. Arrange chicken over bottom of slow cooker stoneware and cover with vegetable mixture above.
