Bring to the boil and pour over the chicken in the cooker.
Place on the cover, switch to high and cook for 2 - 3 hours.
Add the pepper and mushrooms, re cover and cook for a further hour or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve with creamy mash or for a change, tagliatelle.
N.B. if you would like this to simmer all day use the low setting on your slow cooker and add the pepper and mushroom at the beginning.
