400g tinned chopped tomatoes

2 tsp oregano

Handful parsley, roughly chopped

Pinch of chilli flakes

95g mixed pitted olives

Heat a large frying pan with the oil over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides for about 2 minutes each.

Place the chicken in the slow cooker.

Add the onions, pepper and celery to the slow cooker.

Add the wine or stock to the frying pan and scrape up any brown cooking bits.

Add the oregano and garlic paste then cook to reduce the liquid by half.
