I came up with this saucy chicken during a particularly busy holiday season. As new parents, my husband and I both appreciate having a go-to dinner that's easy, homemade and delicious.


Ingredients

    • 2 medium carrots, chopped
    • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
    • 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • Hot cooked orzo

Step by Step method

    Directions

    1. Place carrots and shallots in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker; top with chicken. In a bowl, whisk flour and broth until smooth; stir in tomatoes, vinegar, oil, garlic and seasonings. Pour over chicken. Cook, covered, on low until chicken and carrots are tender, 6-8 hours.
    2. Remove chicken; cool slightly. Discard bay leaf and, if desired, skim fat from carrot mixture.
    3. Remove chicken from bones; shred slightly with two forks. Return to slow cooker and heat through. Serve with orzo.
