We’re just one week out from the start of fall!! Part of me is sad that time is flying by, but most of me just feels excited. Excited for the season ahead. Excited to lean into the cozier things in life. And excited about our upcoming launch and fall travel. So many things to really be looking forward to! And course, fall recipes are at the top of my list! I have so many fun new ideas! But with life being so busy for us all, I think we can agree that simplifying our cooking and baking is the way to go. This means crockpot recipes! And today I have a good one.
Here are the details
Just as you would think, this really is simple. Begin by placing the chicken in the crockpot and rubbing it with olive oil and fresh herbs. I used a heartier mix of herbs for this to really help make the dish warming. Sage is my favorite herb to use in September. Now the garlic, the key to this recipe. You’ll want to use a whole head but peel the cloves and leave them whole. The cloves will soften and caramelize as the chicken cooks adding so much flavor to the sauce. I also love to use a Parmesan rind. Try it, you’ll love it! Just toss it in with the garlic. It adds a really nice flavor throughout the creamy sauce. It also pairs so wonderfully with the white wine, herbs, and mustard. Certainly a very French vibe. At this point, just cover the crockpot and cook. You can speed things up by cooking on high, or go low and slow. Alternatively, you can use the instant pot, but I do prefer the crockpot method, I gave stovetop directions too. When the chicken has cooked, pull it out and set it on a small sheet pan. For the gnocchi, it’s pretty easy, sometimes I use cauliflower, sometimes potato. Just depends on my mood! Mix it in with some water and cook in the crockpot for a few minutes on high. Finish the chicken by adding some butter on top. Then add milk and Parmesan to the sauce too. And well that’s it. This certainly could not be easier, or more delicious! Once you plate this, I like to add fresh basil on top and some crusty bread on the side. The bread is perfect for scooping up all that extra sauce. Looking for other easy Monday night dinners??
