CROCK POT SMOTHERED CHICKEN



CROCK POT SMOTHERED CHICKEN image

I joined the new group in JAP and all these recipes being made in a crock pot got me to thinking maybe my smothered chicken could be cooked in a crock pot too. It was a success.

Provided by jamie Beecham

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large chicken breast halves
2 c swanson 100% fat free low sodium chicken broth
1/4 c gallo family wine, pinot grigo
1/4 c heavy cream
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
2 clove grated garlic

Steps:

  • 1. Clean the breast of all excess skin and fat. Lay on cutting board cut into ( I was able to yeild 4) parts .
  • 2. In Crock Pot pour in 2 cups of broth and wine. Place the chicken into the pot.
  • 3. In a bowl pour in heavy cream and 2 Tbls. of flour and mix until no lumps are in the cream. Pour into the pot over the chicken.
  • 4. Grate the garlic into the pot and add all seasoning at this point
  • 5. Place cover on crock pot turn to high and let cook 3 hours or check to see if the chicken is tender and done before cutting off crock pot. I cooked on high because I was home to watch and see how it was cooking and wanted to have it done quick. All crock pots vary in temperature of cooking so you will need to adjust according to your type of crock pot.
  • 6. This makes a very tender breast and the sauce is very good poured over rice or mashed potatoes. I even mash cauliflower up for my meal to take place of potatoes and pour this sauce over them. If you prefer a thick gravy with your meal then remove the chicken, dip out some of the sauce in a bowl and mix maybe about 1 Tbls more of flour and mix till no lumps in mixture and pour back into the sauce and let heat and stir till thick as you would like it to be. I do use as a sauce and make stuffing with my meal too.
  • 7. You will see egg noodles in the picture but I do not recommend them with this sauce. It did not compliment this dish at all. You really need to serve over rice or potatoes or mashed cauliflower if you are watching your carbs and weight.

CROCK POT BBQ SMOTHERED CHICKEN



Crock Pot BBQ Smothered Chicken image

I love my crock pot. It sure makes life easier for me since I started using it. I just wish I had started when I got it. It was a gift from my daughter and her hubby and I let it sit in my pantry for 5 or 6 years before I ever tried to cook in it because I figured I didn't know how to use it. But it is so easy and so convenient. If you have one sitting around, USE IT! You will love it.

My Mom used to make this all the time in the oven. However I have changed it to lower the fat content and tried it in my crock pot. It worked out wonderful and I wanted to share.

Provided by Braunda

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 6h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 pieces chicken (I use Legs & Thighs, Skinned and all visible fat removed)
2 tablespoons flour
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can milk (use soup can)
salt
pepper

  • Place Chicken in Crockpot, Season (to taste).
  • Sprinkle Flour on Chicken.
  • Mix Soup and Milk (till creamy).
  • Pour over Chicken.
  • Cover.
  • Cook for 4-6 Hours.
  • Nice Gravy can be used over Potatoes, Rice or Pasta.

Tips:

  • Choose a juicy cut of chicken, such as bone-in, skinless chicken thighs or breasts.
  • Sear the chicken in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a crispy skin.
  • Use a good quality BBQ sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but a store-bought sauce will also work well.
  • Add some vegetables to the slow cooker along with the chicken and BBQ sauce. This will help to make the dish more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or corn on the cob.
