SLOW COOKER TENDER GARLIC PARMESAN HERB CHICKEN

This slow cooker recipe for tender garlic Parmesan herb chicken gives a slow-roasted crust in a slow cooker. Use forks arranged in the bottom of the slow-cooker as a makeshift roasting tray to lift the chicken out of its juices. Rather than stewing, the chicken cooks slowly and evenly as the hot air circulates around it. What you get is a light crust and an effect fairly close to a slow-rotating barbecue grill.

SLOW COOKER TENDER GARLIC PARMESAN HERB CHICKEN

4-6 15 MINUTES 3 HOURS 3 HOURS, 25 MINUTES

Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1½ cups powdered Parmesan cheese
7 cloves garlic, minced into a paste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Direction

1. Line a 6-quart slow cooker with 8 to 10 forks facing up or down, arranging them in a way that keeps the chicken lifted from the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, rubbing into the meat. Set aside.

3. In a bowl, mix Parmesan, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle all over chicken, pressing into the meat to create a crust.

4. Gently place chicken onto the forks in the slow cooker, bone side down.

5. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.

6. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes with lid partially open. Serve.

Pro tip: For a luscious sauce, pour the juices from the bottom of the slow cooker into a pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until reduced by half. Turn off heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. You're done!
