Crock Pot Creamy Herbed Chicken
Crock Pot Creamy Herbed Chicken is slow cooked boneless chicken cooked with fresh herbs. This is a great summer crock pot recipe taking advantage of all the fresh herbs available in the garden or the grocery store.
Cooking with fresh herbs
Why cook with fresh herbs instead of using dried herbs? Fresh Culinary Herbs have a better flavor than dried herbs.
Pick fresh herbs that you plan to cook with early in the morning after the dew has dried off but before the sun is high and more of the herb aromatic flavors will be present because the aromatic oils of the herbs will not have had time to burn off.
Dried herbs that have been processed with heat to dry them so they can be stored long term lose some of their aromatic flavors from the high heat process used to dry them.
