Description

A delightful dish capturing the essence of comfort food with tender chicken and rich garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken thighs on both sides until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  2. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice into the skillet with garlic.
  5. Stir to combine all the ingredients and create a flavorful sauce.
  6. Pour the garlic sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring it’s well coated.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender.
  8. Before serving, garnish the chicken with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in lemon juice and herbs before cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a cornstarch slurry and stir it into the sauce during the last hour of cooking.
