I need inspiration!

OK I have no hob at the moment as dh destroyed it while I was away for a couple of days!! I have an oven, grill, slow cooker and microwave. I've got chicken thighs out of the freezer and want to do something either in the slow cooker or in the oven on timer ie one pot meal(if possible) to be ready when we get in from work. Any ideas appreciated.

if it is the kind of slow cooker that you can start up from cold lob the chicken in with some cut up root veg (spuds, carrots, turnips)pour over scant amount of stock made with a cube and cook all day in the slow cooker.

Fry up ginger,garlic and onions.
Fry the chicken pieces with this (cut each thingh into two pieces)and add tspoon of 5 spice powder.
Add about 10oz of good soy sauce,some sherry or rice wine,sweet chilli sauce and/or honey and simmer for 30 mins.

Serve with rice and stirfry/steamed veg.

How diddh destroy hob lol??

Thanks for the ideas. Only got the messages today as dh was on the phone until late last night and we haven't got round to broadband yet so had a cobbled together rice, chicken and veg thing which was surprisingly tasty! Moondog I dread to think how he destroyed the hob but the oven gloves were destroyed by fire at the same time so I'd rather not think about it!! Have an electrician coming to fit a new hob (well new to us) that someone's given us tomorrow. Didn't think I ought to let dh dabble!!!!

Maybe saying "destroyed by fire" was a touch melodramatic but there was a hole burned in them! He'll have to try harder than that though to stop me leaving them with him again!!

Oh,stickwith the dramatic version.
Much more of a'wow'factor!
