Coat chicken in flour and toss in slow cooker

Here’s a simple way to coat chicken in flour and cook it in a slow cooker for a tender, flavorful result:

Flour-Coated Slow Cooker Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp paprika (optional)

• 2 tbsp oil (for browning, optional)

• 1 cup chicken broth or cream-based sauce (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Coat the Chicken:

   • In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.

   • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so it sticks well.

2. (Optional) Brown the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Brown the coated chicken for 2–3 minutes per side. This adds flavor and helps seal in juices.

3. Slow Cook:

   • Place chicken in the slow cooker.

   • Pour chicken broth or sauce over the top.

   • Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

4. Optional – Thicken Sauce:

   • Remove chicken and stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) into the sauce.

   • Cook on high for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
