Instructions
Creating the Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala Delight is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Brown on both sides for about 3-4 minutes. This step adds depth to the flavor.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, place the browned chicken thighs. Add the sautéed vegetables on top, then pour in Marsala wine, chicken broth, and soy sauce.
4. Season: Sprinkle dried thyme and rosemary over the mixture. Stir gently to combine.
5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
6. Shred Chicken (Optional): If you prefer, shred the chicken using two forks once it’s cooked to allow the flavors to meld further.
7. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
