Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and the chicken and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is browned all around.
  2. To a slow cooker add the diced tomatoes, red pepper, and onion. Stir in the chicken and the juices. Sprinkle with the capers and tuck in the bay leaf and cheese rind. Pour in the chicken broth and add the potatoes. Set the slow cooker to high for 5 hours.
  3. Serve over rice or with crusty bread if desired.
