This recipe has one of my favorite combos – garlic and rosemary.

Now, it may seem like there’s a lot of garlic in this Slow Cooker Garlic Rosemary Chicken.
And there is.However, the garlic cooks down, and the cloves mellow until they reach a rich, soft, almost buttery consistency.
I suggest serving the extra cloves spread on some warm, crusty bread.

Also, peeling 40 cloves of garlic takes a while! Save yourself some time, and pick up a bag of pre-peeled garlic cloves.
Costco and Sam’s Club carry them for about $4.50 for a large bag, and if you use a lot of garlic, it’s worth it.

This recipe has been our church Christmas dinner menu for several years. This year I added 2 1/2 Tbsp arrowroot to 2/3 cup cold water, then I mixed it into 2 cups of the broth in a sauce pan, brought to a boil, added it back into the crock pot and made a thicker sauce for the chicken.
