As I feverishly prepare for Thanksgiving today my husband had the nerve to ask what was for dinner. Seriouly??? Unfortunately he was serious. So, I whipped out the slow cooker this morning. I'm planning on letting it take care of dinner for me.
Serves 6
6 pieces of bone in, skin on chicken(thighs, whole breasts or a whole cut up chicken will work)
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
6 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
Spray the insert to your slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the onions, garlic and thyme in the bottom of the insert. Whisk the wine, stock,and flour well together;making sure there are no lumps. Pour this into the insert. Season well with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet with a lid. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each piece of chicken, you can also put more dried thyme on the chicken too if you like. When the skillet is hot, place the chicken, skin side down, into the hot skillet. Brown the chicken well on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place into your insert. Place the insert into the slow cooker, put on the lid and cook for 4-6 hours. Check your slow cooker for the speed. On mine 6 hours is considered high it may be different on yours. Serve the chicken and sauce over rice, couscous, or buttered egg noodles.
