Slow Cooker Chicken Kiev

This is more of a do as I say not as I do type of thing.  I am not a professional.  I do cook good food, most of the time.  Sometimes, I need to edit the recipe a bit when I write it to ensure a better outcome for you.  These edits are adjustments based on what I know will work.



I don't have a team of professionals helping me.  I have S.  He's always honest in telling me when it needs something else.  He'll let me know if something is just not good at all, great, or OMG amazing!  Then there's Missy.  She just eats.  

This may come as a shock to some of you.  I apologize.  I never meant to lead you astray or deceive you in any way into thinking I was something more than just a home cook.  Cause that's all I am.  I just like to tell people about my successes in experimenting in the kitchen and let them know how they can recreate what I did.  Or create something BETTER than what I did.  

Like this chicken dish. 

First, don't stuff the chicken with Laughing Cow cheese.  It didn't do what I thought it would.  OR if you do, you will need something else to make it creamy, like a bit of butter?  Which is counter productive to Laughing Cow cheese.  Use actual Boursin cheese.  An herb blend would be tasty.  Freezing it before hand prevents it from melting too quickly in the chicken breasts.

Second, increase the liquids and decrease the cooking time.  The chicken was about half submerged in the broth.  I needs to be submerged more in the broth.  I cooked it too long so it was too dry.  Reduce the cooking time.  I simply forgot to reset my vacation timer.  

No.  I don't have one of those fancy slow cookers where you can set the time.  I don't need one.  I have a $10 vacation timer that turns it on when I want it to and off when I want it to!  It's an amazing invention!  And with that invention, I've saved myself the cost of a new slow cooker.

The broth when the chicken is done is extremely tasty!  The tang of the lemon and dill bring the whole Kiev flavors to the table.  The wine just enhances the whole dish.  You can skip it and do all chicken broth, that's good, too.  Just make sure, whatever you do, the chicken has plenty of liquid around it.  If you're while it's cooking, you could baste it a little.  Just a thought.  I hope you try the adjusted recipe below.  It was tasty!
