After reading about how good garlic is for you, I knew Slow Cooker Garlic Chicken would be a great recipe to make for my family. ENJOY!
- Combine broth, white wine and cognac in a small bowl.
- Discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken and pat dry.
- In a large non-stick skillet heat oil and butter over medium-high heat until butter melts.
- Sprinkle chicken pieces evenly with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken to skillet; brown for 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Transfer to a 4 quart slow cooker.
- Reduce heat in skillet to medium, adding garlic to drippings; sauté for 1 minute or until garlic begins to brown.
- Stir in broth mixture from step #1, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
- Boil for approximately 2 minutes or until sauce is reduced to about 1 cup.
- Pour sauce over chicken; sprinkle with thyme.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 4 hours or until chicken is done.
- Serve sauce and garlic with chicken.
NOTE: If desired, garnish with chopped parsley… also delicious with stir fried veggies!

I don’t cook enough “exotic” stuff, nor do I drink, to have white wine or cognac on hand for something like this. Are these mainly for flavor or to add liquid or both? Could I use something else? If I have wine on hand, it’s a dessert wine (Moscato d’asti)… What would you recommend? This is the first I’ve been on your site and have pinned a BUNCH of new recipes to try. Thank you for putting these out there for us inexperienced crockers!
Leisa it is for both, but you can make this recipe your own, and make it with the ingredients you enjoy. I am sure it will be great!
