The
flavors of wine & cheese just seem to go together in a royal way.
No wonder they are considered high class. Here is an easy yet
elegant way to serve the lowly bird with a minimum of work and easy
clean up.
You
will love the way your slow cooker will add a wonderful aroma of fine
dinning to your kitchen.
Ingredients:
5
chicken thighs
1
can condensed chicken soup
1
187 ml bottle of Sauvignon Blanc
1
red onion chopped
1
cup red seedless grapes
1
8oz low fat cream cheese
1
tsp Thyme
1
tsp garlic powder
Directions:
First
wipe out your slow cooker & spray it.
Chop
up the red onion into big chunks.
In
a large skillet, heat 2 tbs oil over medium heat and stir in the
onion. Stir occasionally for about 7
– 8 minutes
until brown edges start to form. Remove to a paper towel lined bowl.
Add
2 tbs of butter to the grease in the skillet and place the chicken
thighs skin down. Let sit for about
8 minutes! This
gives it a nice crust for the top. Turn over for an additional 2
minutes and
remove.
In
a large bowl mix the undiluted soup with the bottle of wine, Thyme
and garlic powder until well mixed.
Turn
the slow cooker on LOW.
Spoon
about a third of the onions into the pot and add about a third of the
soup mix.
Place
the chicken on that bed and add the rest of the onions and soup
around the pieces.
Cover
and let cook for 5
hours.
When
the five hour mark is reached, cut up the cream cheese into 1
inch sized
blocks and mix with the grapes.
Stir
this into the cooking liquid in the pot. Cover and let it finish for
the
final hour.
This may need stirring before your serve along side the chicken
pieces.
For
a simple side dish slave had saved back the peelings from the last
batch of mashed potatoes. The most nutrition is in the peel! Slice
them into strips.
Slave
used the same grease from sauteing the onions and browning the
chicken to fry these up and place on paper towel! A free side of
dish with a nice crunch. All from what you used to throw away!
Next
time, save the peelings and wrap in a paper towel in the
refrigerator! Then all they need is a sprinkle of salt.
