Miss in the kitchen – Savory Citrus Chicken

I use my slow cooker a lot during the summer.  It is the ideal way to cook supper without heating up the house, and it does all the work for you on busy days. This recipe requires just a few ingredients, and the results are tender, juicy and flavorful chicken.  It’s great served with mashed potatoes and a garden fresh salad. 

SAVORY CITRUS CHICKEN – 

SLOW COOKER RECIPE

4 chicken thighs or breasts (about 2 pounds)

12 oz beer (I used Bud Light)

2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard

2 teaspoon herbs de Provence

1 teaspoon salt

1 whole orange, ends trimmed and sliced into 4 slices

Add chicken to slow cooker. Pour beer into slow cooker and whisk in honey Dijon mustard. Sprinkle herbs de Provence and salt over chicken thighs. Lay an orange slice over each chicken thigh.

Cook on high for 4 hours or 6 to 8 hours on low.

This is a super easy and refreshing drink that everyone will love. It is perfect for parties and backyard barbecues. Enjoy those fresh blueberries before they disappear!
