Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
In the slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, sautéed garlic, and thyme leaves. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
Place the seared chicken breasts into the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
