  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 5 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 kg chicken breasts
  • 15 g garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 150 ml dry white wine (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio)
  • 200 ml chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried tarragon (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 30 g cornflour
  • 100 ml crème fraîche

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt & pepper and sear for 2 minutes per side until lightly golden (don’t cook through). Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.

In the same pan, add onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until reduced by half. Deglaze by scraping up any browned bits for extra flavour. Transfer the onion-wine mixture to the slow cooker.

Add chicken stock, tarragon, and Dijon mustard, salt, some more pepper and the cornflour. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours, until the chicken is tender.

Stir in the crème fraiche and mix well.

Serve & Enjoy!
