Melt-in-Your-Mouth Tarragon Chicken (slow cooker)
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. chicken broth 4 tbsp. dijon mustard Salt and pepper 4 lbs. bone-in chicken parts (breasts, drumsticks and thighs), skin discarded 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon OUT-OF-THE-POT INGREDIENTS: 1/3 cup heavy cream 2 tbsp. cornstarch 1 lemon, finely zested and juiced 1 tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon
Pour the broth into a 6- to 7-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, 1 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper; rub the chicken with the mustard. Place the chicken in the slow cooker and top with the garlic and 2 tbsp. tarragon. Cover and cook on low heat until the chicken is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh away from the bone registers 165°, about 5 hours.
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and cover to keep warm. Strain the pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over high heat. In a small bowl, combine the cream and cornstarch. Whisk the mixture into the saucepan and cook until the sauce is thickened; stir in the lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, parsley, and 1 tbsp. tarragon. Top the chicken with the zest-herb mixture.
