This Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken is so easy to make, and the perfect comforting meal. With minimal prep time, you can enjoy tender chicken in a rich garlic butter sauce. This slow cooker recipe is perfect for busy families or anyone looking for a hassle-free dinner option.
How To Make Garlic Butter Chicken
Simply coat your chicken breasts in flour and pan fry in 50g of butter (I used the HexaClad to do this). Once fried for one minute each side, add to the slow cooker with all your other ingredients and let the magic happen.
Why Make This Dish?
- Convenience: The slow cooker does all the work, allowing you to set it and forget it.
- Delicious Flavours: The combination of garlic and butter creates a mouthwatering sauce that enhances the chicken’s natural flavours.
- Versatility: You can easily adapt the recipe by adding your favourite vegetables or adjusting the spices to suit your taste.
What to serve with Garlic Butter Chicken?
- During Autumn/Winter, I’d recommend serving this dish with either crusty bread or mash for a proper comforting meal.
- If making during Spring/Summer, you can pair this dish with salad, rice or quinoa, the grains absorb the delicious garlic butter sauce beautifully!
