Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Skinless chicken breasts | 6 |
| Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Onion | 1 |
| Ground coriander | 1 tbsp |
| Salt | 1 1/2 tsp |
| Chicken broth | 1/2 cup |
| Lemon juice | 1 tbsp |
| Plain yogurt | 1 cup |
| Flour | 2 tbsp |
| Green onions | 6 |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Begin by rolling the chicken breasts in a mixture of butter, finely diced onion, ground coriander, and salt until they are thoroughly coated.
-
Crock Pot Placement: Transfer the coated chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Add Broth and Lemon Juice: Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice over the chicken in the crock pot. These liquids will infuse the chicken with moisture and flavor as it cooks.
-
Cooking Process: Depending on your schedule, you have two options for cooking times:
- Low and Slow: Cook for 8 hours on low heat. This method allows the flavors to meld together perfectly, resulting in tender and juicy chicken.
- Short and Sweet: If time is of the essence, you can opt for 4 hours on high heat. While this yields quicker results, the chicken may not be as infused with flavor as the low and slow method.
-
Prepare Yogurt Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by whisking together the plain yogurt and flour until they form a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Serve with Sauce: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the crock pot and place it onto a serving dish. Then, pour a generous amount of the yogurt sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining sauce to serve at the table.
-
Garnish and Serve: For a final touch, garnish the dish with freshly chopped green onions. This adds a pop of color and a burst of freshness to the meal. Serve the coriander chicken alongside your favorite sides, such as rice pilaf and a crisp salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
