- Season the chicken all over with black pepper and put it in the slow-cooker. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, leek and garlic. Pour the stock around the chicken. Put the lid on and cook on high for 3 hrs or on low for 6 hrs, turning the chicken half-way through, until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the slow-cooker and shred with two forks.
- Add the chicken back to the slow-cooker. Add the corn, thyme, peas and beans and cook on high for 20 mins until the veg is tender. Season well with black pepper and serve.
