Description

This dish delivers tender, pull-apart chicken infused with herbs, tangy Italian dressing,
and rich slow-cooked flavor. The sauce stays light yet savory, making it incredibly versatile.
Serve it over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or use it in sandwiches and wraps.

Tips

• Chicken thighs stay extra juicy if you prefer dark meat.
• For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking.
• Add vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or green beans for a complete one-pot meal.
• Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Corrections

• Chicken turned dry: It likely cooked too long; check for doneness earlier next time.
• Too salty: Use a low-sodium Italian dressing.
• Bland flavor: Add a pinch of garlic powder or grated Parmesan at the end.
