Instructions
Creating this Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala Delight is straightforward with the following steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the Chicken (optional): In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
3. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, minced garlic, thyme, and oregano on top.
4. Stir in Liquid: Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth over the chicken and other ingredients.
5. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
6. (Optional) Thicken Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, combine cornstarch with a little cold water in a small bowl. Stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
7. Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, shred the chicken in the sauce or serve whole. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
These easy steps will guide you to create a delightful dish that celebrates the flavors of Italian cooking, right in your kitchen.
