Slow Cooker Creamy Garlic Chicken and Veggies

Step 1

Season chicken with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; drain excess fat and set chicken aside.

Step 3

Place potatoes into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in wine, chicken stock, shallots, garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the slow cooker in an even layer.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Add broccoli during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

Step 5

Remove chicken, potatoes and broccoli from the slow cooker, cover and keep warm.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 7

Serve chicken, potatoes and broccoli immediately with cream sauce.
