Crockpot Chicken Thighs In Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce Just 4 Ingredients Food

CHICKEN THIGHS IN CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down into a large, deep pan then place over medium-high heat. Allow to cook for 7-10 minutes until the skin is crisp and deeply golden. Flip the thighs over and cook for another 7-10 minutes until the chicken thighs are fully cooked. The thighs are done when the meat is white through to the bone or the temperature reads 75°C/165°F on a meat thermometer. Remove the thighs from the pan and set aside.
• Add the butter, garlic and thyme to the pan and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine or stock and using a wooden spoon, scrape the sticky bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in the cream and lemon juice.
• Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes or until it coats the back of a spoon easily. Add the Parmesan cheese, stir in then add the chicken thighs. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes then sprinkle with parsley and serve.

SLOW COOKER PARMESAN CHICKEN THIGHS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Season chicken with basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain excess fat and set chicken aside.
• Place potatoes in a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in olive oil, garlic, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Add chicken in an even layer over top.
• Cover and cook until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 7 to 8 hours on Low or 3 to 4 hours on High. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and garnished with parsley.

SLOW-COOKER CREAMY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Spray slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to skillet, and sear chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown; arrange in single layer in bottom of slow cooker.
• Add garlic to same skillet, and cook until just golden in a few spots; carefully add wine to skillet, and scrape up any browned bits from bottom. Heat to simmering; simmer 1 minute. Pour into slow cooker. Add broth to slow cooker, stirring gently to combine. Add thyme sprigs. Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 to 6 hours.
• Twenty minutes before serving, with slow cooker still set to High, beat cornstarch and water with whisk to make a slurry; stir the slurry, Parmesan cheese and whipping cream into liquid in slow cooker (if necessary, remove chicken from slow cooker for this step, and add back once mixed).
• Cover; cook 20 minutes longer to thicken. Serve with parsley and, if desired, additional Parmesan. Serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.
