Spring Herb Chicken Slow Cooker: Directions
- Dry the chicken with a towel. Cut off extra fat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Put them flat in a big slow cooker (5-6 quarts). They can touch a bit.
- In a bowl, mix the one sauce: oil, wine, lemon juice, lemon peel, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, mustard, oregano, and pepper bits. Stir till it’s all friends.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken. Make sure every piece gets wet. Spoon some around so herbs hide between.
- Put the lid on. Cook on LOW 4-5 hours or HIGH 2 1/2-3 hours. Chicken is done when soft and hot inside (165°F).
- Taste the juice. Add salt or lemon if bland. For thicker sauce, boil some juice in a pot 5-10 minutes, then pour back.
- Serve hot with lots of juice on top. Add extra herbs if you want.
