    Slow Cooker Sage Butter Chicken
    I realize we are all only a few days into our New Year’s Resolution healthy eating plans but I’m going to venture a guess that more than just a few of us are already thinking there’s no way we can handle eating all the “grilled chicken” that seems to be required! So in order to save you from another dry boring chicken recipe I’m here to offer yet another of my juicy and flavorful chicken breasts recipes in case you’d like to give it a try instead!

    Now for this recipe I did use the bone-in skin on chicken and I do think it’s a great way to keep your chicken from drying out. Of course, if you are watching calories you will probably not want to eat the skin and that’s okay! Leaving it on while cooking will keep the chicken tender and juicy and then it is very easy to remove it before eating.

    If you follow my blog much you’ll know I love my herbs and use thyme and rosemary quite often. My newest obsession is now sage. I’ve used it plenty of times along with the combo of other herbs but I’ve just recently realized how much I like it on it’s own!

    Have you tried fried sage yet? It’s so easy and surprisingly so good! Even my four year old liked it and that says a whole lot. Just heat a small amount of oil in a pan and wash and dry some fresh sage leaves well. Toss them in carefully and let them sizzle for just a minute or so until crispy and then fetch them out with some tongs or a strainer and drain on a paper towel. The perfect addition to this and many other meals.

      Can you add the butter to the recipe,so I know how much and at what step? I am assuming there is a set amount,as it's the name of the recipe. 🙂
      Thanks for modifying,
      Michele

      OMG My chicken was a huge success! I didn't have smoked paprika only regular paprika and still was amazing.
      I used a delicious dry Preston Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2013 in the recipe and for pairing, was absolutely stunning. Well done slowcookergourmet!

        Thanks Holly! I can't believe I left the butter off! It's just to help brown the chicken and give it a little buttery flavor but shouldn't impact the overall results much. Hope you enjoyed it!
