Let's start with marinating chicken thighs. For cooking this dish I used a large leg, which is perfect for two servings. To do this, first thoroughly rinse in running water and immediately dry with a paper towel. We cut into two parts.
Rub with salt, black pepper and mustard. You can experiment with spices. Instead of grainy mustard, you can use plain, spicy or sweet - it's up to you. Leave for 20-30 minutes room temperature.
For now, let's get to the vegetables. Before use, rinse thoroughly to remove dirt and dust, dry, peel and rinse again. Cut carrots into thin rings. If you use large potatoes, then leave the carrot rings round. Otherwise, cut the circles in half.
Cut the peeled potatoes into an accordion. Do not cut to the underside. Potatoes should remain whole.
Add a carrot ring to each potato cut. Salt and pepper to taste.
Take a good piece of foil. Lay down chicken leg and a couple of potatoes. Wrap it up nicely.
I use a pressure cooker that cooks almost everything under high pressure. If your slow cooker is normal, then cook according to the instructions. At the bottom of the bowl, pour 250-350 ml of water, you can even hot. We lay the grate and on the grate we lay a heat-resistant form with our workpiece. Close the lid tightly and turn on the slow cooker for 35 minutes.
