Ingredients
1/4 cup Gallo family wine, Pinot grigo
3 large chicken breast halves
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups Swanson 100% fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
2 cloves, grated garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT SMOTHERED CHICKEN
Step 1: Cut off the excess skin and fat from the chicken breast. Then, lay the chicken breast on a cutting board and slice it into pieces.
Step 2: Pour 2 cups of broth and wine into a crockpot and add the chicken.
Step 3: Place the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of flour in a bowl. Mix well and pour this over the chicken.
Step 4: Into the pot, grate the garlic, and add the seasonings.
Step 5: Set to cook on high for 3 hours or until the chicken is tender. Serve the smothered chicken immediately over rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes:
If you like a thicker gravy, set the chicken aside and place some of the sauce in a bowl. Whisk in around 1 tbsp or more flour until the lumps are gone. Then, pour this back into the sauce. Allow the sauce to heat while stirring until thickened.
If watching carbs, this smothered chicken is great to pair with potatoes, rice, or even mashed cauliflower.
