Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crockpot: Place the sliced onions in the bottom of your Crockpot to create a bed for the chicken.
Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Layer the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the bed of onions in the Crockpot.
Mix the Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, and olive oil. Pour this sauce mixture over the chicken in the Crockpot.
Cooking Time: Cover the Crockpot with the lid and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your Crockpot, so use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optional Thickening: About 30 minutes before serving, you can thicken the sauce if desired. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the Crockpot with the chicken and sauce. Allow it to cook for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Serve: Once the chicken is done and the sauce is to your liking, serve the savory Crockpot chicken over cooked rice, pasta, or with your favorite side dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.
This savory Crockpot chicken recipe is sure to become a family favorite. The slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb all the wonderful flavors of the herbs and spices, resulting in a mouthwatering and tender dish that’s perfect for a hassle-free dinner. Enjoy!
