Garlic Chicken

This is a recipe I found in a Crock Pot cookbook that was given to me for Christmas.  I changed a few things around, and cooked it in the oven since I didn't give myself the 6 hours called for in the recipe!

Garlic Chicken
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • Most of a head of garlic, peeled but left cloves left whole
  • Chicken stock
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Oregano
  • Parsley flakes
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides and brown in a sprayed pan (I used olive oil spray).
Put celery and garlic cloves in the bottom of your crock pot or baking dish (with a lid).
Once chicken is brown, put it on top of the celery and garlic, then deglaze pan with chicken stock.  Add oregano and parsley flakes to stock and stir to combine.  I used about a Tbsp of each, but make it to your taste.
Pour chicken stock over chicken/celery/garlic, it should surround the chicken, but not cover it.
Bake at 350F for about 3 hours or crock pot on low for 6 hours depending on your time allotted.

My husband smeared the garlic cloves on toasted bread and happly munched away.  Since I'm still in phase 1 of SB I ate them seperately and they were delicious!
