Ingredients
1 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
1/3 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
2 shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts (skin on or off)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 bunch kale, chopped
Mashed potatoes or steamed rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine wine, cream (or coconut milk), Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Add thyme and sage, cover, and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours until chicken is tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in butter, parmesan, and kale. Let kale wilt.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
Substitute chicken thighs for juicier, richer flavor.
Use coconut milk instead of cream for dairy-free variation.
Add mushrooms or carrots for extra vegetables.
Swap parmesan for Gruyère or Pecorino Romano for a different cheesy finish.
Serve with crusty bread instead of potatoes or rice for soaking up sauce.
