Today was my take on the Crock Pot Lady's 20 to 40 Clove Garlic Chicken.
Ingredients
3-4 lbs chicken
1 onion, sliced
1 tbl oil (olive or canola)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp oregano
2 tbl parsley flakes
20-40 peeled garlic cloves
Directions
I used bone in breast halves. I removed the skin and fat from the chicken. Place chicken in a bowl with oil, spices, and garlic cloves. Crock pot lady didn't suggest the oregano and parsley, i stole them from another recipe. I was out of basil or I would have added it too. Toss to fully coat. Place onions on bottom of crock and lay chicken and garlic on top. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.
Verdict
I was amazed at how much moisture there was in the crock when I came home -- the onions were basically gone, however the garlic was still intact. The chicken was a tad dry, however i used the juice to jazz it up. It was probably dry because I was at work for a little longer than 8 days. I felt like the flavor was subtly garlic without being overpowering. The roasted garlic was a little stronger, but not at all bitter.
I ate it with Kate's roasted broccoli son-style. After eating I was reading the comments at Crock Pot Lady's... Tomorrow I'll be eating leftover chicken with mashed potatoes -- made with the leftover garlic.
Two big Thumbs up!
In your second serving of Cooking with Sarah... I made chili this weekend. All the football fun and the rainy sunday afternoon called to me. This was my first stab at chili from scratch. The recipe I followed used Cinnamon. Very different -- I liked what it brought to my beef, tomatoes, and beans. yummy. I <3>
