I have a confession to make. My weekend adventures led to me not menu planning. GASP! I went through the grocery store, blindly putting things I probably did not need in the cart. It felt weird not having a list and even worse when I have come home every night to the same question, “What can I whip together fast?” Tonight I got smart and made a family favorite Crockpot dish. It is nice to come home to a warm, hot meal when life is not so planned. I found this recipe and made many improvements to add flavor and taste.
Smothered Crockpot Buttermilk Chicken
Adapted and Mom on the Run Improved from WW Community Boards
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 medium carrots — sliced
1/2cup onion — chopped
1/2 cup fat free chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tbsp of Italian Seasoning
1 package roasted chicken gravy mix (I found a Gluten Free One)
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons flour (I used rice flour)
1 cup frozen peas
Instructions:
In a 4 to 6 quart crock pot, combine chicken, carrots, onion, water, salt, and pepper mix well. Cover; cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours. About 20 minutes before serving, stir gravy mix into crock pot. In a measuring cup, blend buttermilk and flour until smooth. Stir flour mixture and peas into chicken; mix well. Serve with rice or biscuits. 
Cover, increase heat to high; cover and cook an additional 25-20 minutes or until peas are cooked. 
A bowl of delicious goodness.
Sometimes the best meals are those which slow roast all day. My family can’t get enough of this stew. I forget sometimes how much I love my Crockpot. Do you use your Crockpot? If so do you have a favorite meal you prepare in it?
Tomorrow I announce the Tea Giveaway winner. Can’t wait!
i love my crockpot! i make pot roast in it… and i use it to cook dried beans (put the beans in the night before with water to soak, turn it on in the morning. no effort at all!)
oh this looks really good great recipe
Slow cookers are god’s gifts to busy moms (and med students). This dish looks awesome!
Those biscuits look awesome – I am impressed!!!!!
This looks yummy & easy. Just a word of caution though- there are some thoughts out there that chicken should only be cooked in the crock pot on HIGH. If you cook it on low, bacteria/issues may develop. Just a thought
I’ve cooked chicken on low before and been fine, but I guess you can’t be too safe
Hold the phone! Where did you get those GF Crescent Rolls?!
This looks like such a great comfort meal.
Mmm, that looks so good! I love my crockpot – will definitely have to try this one soon!
That dish looks delicious!! My mom recently gave me a crock-pot and I have never used it. I have been meaning to look for easy recipes to make in it, this one looks just perfect!
Yummy chicken, sounds terrific with biscuits!
That looks wonderful!
I gave up dairy, but boy does this look good!
If I could walk rigt on over there for dinner I would. this gluten intolerance has really expanded your culinary creativity!
