CROCKPOT RECIPES FOR BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts, chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery in your crockpot
• Add the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Pour in the chicken broth and cook on low for 6 hours
• After 6 hours, remove herbs and chicken breasts. Shred the chicken breasts and return them to the crockpot and add the egg noodles. Cook on low for another 30 minutes or until noodles are just cooked but not too soft

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• To the same hot skillet, add the onion and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until onions and mushrooms start to soften and onions brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer onions, mushrooms and garlic to the slow cooker.
• To the slow cooker, add the dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika and chicken broth. Stir gently.
• Cook on low setting for 4-5 hours or high setting for 2-2½ hours, until chicken is cooked through. (Chicken should register at least 165° F on an instant read thermometer.)
• Stir in the orzo, making sure it is all in contact with the liquid, and cook on high for 15-20 minutes, until orzo is tender. Orzo cooking time will depend on your slow cooker.
• Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, as desired.
