Notes

This is a great recipe for busy families: Little preparation required and it cooks unattended.

You can roast the chicken with the 40 cloves of garlic, adding a little chicken broth to keep it moist, and you will get a similar result. The roast chicken version is a product of French cuisine, while the slow cooker version is an American adaptation.
