Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baby new potatoes (about 16)
- 8 small skinless chicken thighs (1 1/2 pounds)
- 3 leeks (white and light green parts), halved lengthwise and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup dry white wine
- Kosher salt
- 1 10-ounce package frozen peas
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Directions
- Place the potatoes on the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken, leeks, wine, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cook, covered, until the chicken and potatoes are tender, on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 7 hours.
- Transfer the chicken and all but 4 of the potatoes to plates. Using a fork, smash the remaining potatoes into the cooking liquid to thicken.
- Add the peas and cream and cook just until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon over the chicken and sprinkle with the tarragon.

Quick Tip
Baby potatoes are very small new potatoes (10 to 11 per pound). If you can only find larger new potatoes, cut them in half
for this recipe. Or try medium red bliss or Yukon gold cut into 2-inch pieces.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
