Slow Cooker Rosemary Chicken Wleeks Food

GARLIC-ROSEMARY SLOW COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add onion over the top of the potatoes.
• Remove the chicken parts inside the cavity and pat the outside of the chicken dry. Slice deep, garlic clove-width slits into your chicken with a knife. Make 4 cuts on each side of the chicken, and 1 in each of the drumsticks. Stick a sliver of garlic deep into each cut. Place the remaining chunks of garlic into the cavity.
• Starting on the back of the chicken, season generously with about 1/2 of the rosemary and cracked salt and pepper. Add some seasoning inside the chicken's cavity as well. Flip the chicken and place it breast side up in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and onions. Season the top of the chicken generously with the remaining rosemary and more cracked salt and pepper.
• Cook on Low until the chicken is cooked through completely and the juices run clear when the chicken is cut, 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size. Serve with the potatoes and onions from the pot.

FRESH ROSEMARY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub over chicken thighs and place in a baking dish. Spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until thighs are no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CROCK POT GARLIC-ROSEMARY CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Place butter and garlic in microwave-safe bowl and heat until butter is soft; blend together.
• Roll chicken breasts in garlic-butter mixture and place in crock pot.
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper, parsley and rosemary.
• Add broth to bowl with remaining garlic-butter, reheat if necessary to allow smooth blending, and add mixture to crock pot.
• Cook on low setting for 6 - 8 hours.
• Serving size is approximately half a chicken breast and a small amount of sauce.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Put the veg and chicken in a slow cooker. Pour the stock over and around the chicken thighs, then mix in the gravy granules to thicken it up (the sauce will be quite thick - use less gravy if you prefer a runnier casserole).
• Switch the slow cooker to low and leave to cook for at least 4 hrs, or up to 8 hrs - try putting it on before you go to work, so that it's ready when you get home. Season well, then serve.
