How to Make Crock Pot Amaretto Chicken

  1. In a large plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag and shake until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
  4. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to your slow cooker.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon honey. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve the Crock Pot Amaretto Chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped almonds (optional).
