Crock Pot Tarragon Chicken image

For ZWT8, A French Love Affair challenge. I am adapting Chocolatl's recipe#479544 to be made in the crock pot. My boneless thighs nearly disintegrated, lol. This would be good over pasta, rice or polenta! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **i increased the amount of flour as I needed to complete recipe **I increased seasonings corresponding to increased flour **I changed the frying chickens to thighs because thighs will be uniform in size & do well with long cooking. **I removed the skin but not necessarily the bone **I did NOT cut back on the liquid because I needed more flour **I changed margarine to butter **I made mushrooms optional ;) **I added an extra garlic clove & minced vs. chopped them

Time 6h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
8 chicken thighs (skin removed, with or without bone)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dry white wine (or more) or 1/2 cup chicken broth (or more)
1 lb mushroom, sliced (optional)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Place flour, salt, pepper and tarragon in a large zippered bag.
  • Add chicken in batches and shake to coat.
  • Remove chicken and reserve flour mixture.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken, in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Place chicken in a crock pot.
  • Add flour to the fat and drippings in the pan.
  • Over medium-low heat, whisk in wine/broth until mixture is thick and smooth. (I used a cast iron skillet which gets hot & retains heat so for this step, I just shut it off) You may need more liquid to get a nice sauce.
  • Pour over chicken.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on LOW until chicken is cooked through, about 6 hours for boneless chicken & 8 hours for bone-in chicken.
  • Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
