CROCK POT ROASTED HERBES DE PROVENCE WHOLE CHICKEN
This chicken is so tender that it falls right off of the bones! Herbes de Provence is a wonderful spice to use on poultry, fish, and veggies (even potatoes). This chicken can also be roasted in the oven, but I prefer it cooked in the crock pot -it is more tender and flavorful when it is slow-cooked. Feel free to throw some additional veggies into the crock pot for a complete meal! Another recipe from a Suzanne Somers' cookbook (and then modified by me to cook in a crock pot).

HERBES DE PROVENCE CHICKEN
Easy to prepare, this recipe came with a packet of herbs de Provence and lavender from Purple Haze Lavender. Very flavorful. Our girls, who don't like anything too "out there," really liked this dish. The chicken is marinated, so be sure to leave time for the meat to soak in all the flavors! Herbs de Provence can be found as a spice blend or you can make your own (I like the ones that include lavender).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Choose a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will not cook evenly in the slow cooker.
- Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Remove any excess fat or skin.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Brown the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker: Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine.
- Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Check the chicken occasionally to make sure that it is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and gravy from the slow cooker.
