Slow-Cooker Garlic and Herb Chicken - Weekend Recipe

This weekend we have a simple easy one dish meal you can serve at a brunch or for an at-home meal.

Crockpot Garlic and Herb Chicken

            3 lb. Frying chicken, cut into serving pieces

            Salt and pepper to taste

            2 Tbls. Olive oil

            ½ cup dry white wine

            2 Tbls. Vermouth

            5 Tbls. Backyard Patch Garlic and Herb Combination Herb Mix (2 packages)

            2 stalks of celery, sliced

            Juice of 1 lemon

            Peel of 1 lemon

Remove the skin from the chicken pieces, if so desired.  Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.  Warm the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.  Brown the chicken on all sides and remove to a platter when golden.  In a large mixing bowl, blend together wine, vermouth, and BYP Garlic and Herbs.  Add the celery and mix to coat.  With a slotted spoon, transfer the coated vegetables to a slow cooker.  Add the chicken pieces to the remaining herb and wine mixture and coat well.  Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.  Sprinkle the lemon juice and peel over the top of the chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken in no longer pink in the thickest cut and juices run clear.  Discard the celery and serve warm.
