Slow Cooker Drunken Chicken from the Pantry

I am, however, struggling from the time change. Don’t get me wrong, as a food photographer who loves natural light and relies so heavily on the sun to get my work done, Day Light Savings time is basically one of my go-to days of the year. However, waking up to a dark AND overcast sky was a bit challenging this morning. 2 cups of coffee later and I’m not sure that I’m even awake yet.

Lets jump right into this Slow Cooker DRUNKEN Chicken, shall we? It’s worth diving into. Stephen and I have been struggling with dinner lately. And by that I mean that we’ve both been so busy that by the time we think “what should we have for dinner!?” it’s 8:30pm, we have nothing in the house, and neither of us have the energy to even think about cooking anything. For this reason, I’m trying to do more straightforward slow cooker meals.

Also, DRUNKEN CHICKEN! I’m a white wine kind of girl and have been truly excited to share a white wine recipe with you.

I used a whole chicken for this which I learned how to joint simply for this. I typically use nothing but plain ole chicken breast for recipes but I wanted to try something a bit different for this one. If chicken breast is easier for you though, go for it!

This can be cooked for 8-10 hours on low which is convenient for days that you want to start the slow cooker before heading to work AND it can be cooked for only about 4 hours on high which, depending on when you get home and when you like to eat dinner, can work if you start it as soon as you get home.

No matter how long you cook it, it’ll be SATISFYING and make you feel a little bit fancy because it was all cooked in a pool on white wine.

I’m a huge fan:) I served mine over a bit of plain white rice but I think it would also taste TRULY good over come couscous. I’ll have to try that again soon!
