Chicken Thighs? In the slow cooker?
Looking for a good recipe. I have a family pack of chicken thighs to cook tomorrow. Ideally, I 'd like to throw them in the crockpot. H doesn't like any cream sauces. I prefer no tomato sauces. Would love a way to cook it that we could use it to make sandwiches, like roasted chicken. TIA!
Re: Chicken Thighs? In the slow cooker?
I love the recipe below with thighs...it's an oven recipe but you could maybe modify it. I got it off of Pinterest 3 or 4 months ago and I've made it many time since then :-) Odd name, but so good!
Man-Pleasing Chicken
Posted on August 11, 2011
I have never gotten so many compliments before, let alone for a piece of chicken. David suggested calling this chicken, ?So Good it Can?t Be Described, Explosion on Your Taste Buds Chicken.? Exactly. I have never encountered a dish that is so basic and simple to put together yet creates such a big pay off. This chicken, quite simply, is one of the most savory things I?ve ever eaten. If you are the busiest person on the planet and don?t have much cooking experience, but you have to prepare a meal to woo the love of your life, cook this chicken!
Preheat your oven to 450?F.Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar.
Put a 1.5 pound package of chicken thighs into an oven-proof baking dish. I used boneless, skinless thighs. Six came in my package, which made enough to serve 3 people. Then, salt and pepper the thighs. Pour your maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.
Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165?F. Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce half way through.I find that a meat thermometer is essential in cooking because it allows me to check for doneness without cutting into the meat and losing its precious juices. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary. If there is ever a time to use fresh herbs, THIS IS IT! The flavors are just so good together. Enjoy the savory goodness of this meal!
I adapted this recipe from ? Trader Joe?s Cookbook? by Cherie Mercer Twoky. Thanks, Jenna!
