How to Make Chicken Bouillabaisse For The Slow Cooker

  1. **Make the Rouille:** In a blender or food processor, combine the red bell pepper, minced garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Process until completely smooth.
  2. Transfer the rouille to a covered jar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. **Sauté Aromatics:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
  4. **Deglaze the Pan:** Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. **Slow Cooker Magic:** Transfer the onion mixture to your slow cooker. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, orange zest, saffron threads, and fennel seeds.
  6. **Season the Chicken:** Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
  7. **Assemble and Cook:** Add the chicken to the slow cooker, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is incredibly tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
  8. **Serve:** Ladle the chicken and sauce into shallow bowls. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices and a generous dollop of the chilled rouille.
