My family likes this delicious Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken for an easy weeknight meal!
I’m not such a crock potter, but crock pots save me on busy nights, and I have a couple handfuls of slow cooker recipes worth trying, like this one! And since everyone seems to like chicken, it all works out great!
🛒 Ingredient Notes:
- olive oil (can use avocado oil, if desired)
- thyme (use fresh)
- rosemary (use fresh)
- garlic
- onion (make sure it’s a sweet onion!)
- chicken broth (regular or low-sodium)
- white wine (a dry wine like sauvignon blanc is best)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- all purpose flour
- chicken (use bone-in chicken- legs, thighs, breast)
✏️ How to make Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken:
*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.
➡️ Recipe Tips and Substitutions:
- I wouldn’t use boneless chicken for this recipe. The bone-in chicken keeps the meat more tender.
- If you need to make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free flour or tapioca starch in place of all-purpose flour.
- If you would prefer to cook this in the oven, brown the chicken in a Dutch oven, then add remaining ingredients plus 1 cup chicken broth. Cover and cook at 350 degrees F. until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40 minutes.
✔️What to serve with Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken:
I use instant polenta as my base. I make it according to the package instructions except that I substitute 1/2 of the water for milk, add a tablespoon of butter and a spoonful of cream cheese. This makes for a delicious and creamy “side” to the slow cooker garlic chicken. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes, rice pilaf or risotto.
