Get ready to dive into a dish so fantastic that your chicken will practically perform a magic trick by falling apart on your fork – it’s the Houdini of dinners!

What you need (to conjure the magic): Servings: 6

  • 1 Tablespoon of olive oil (for that slick entrance)
  • 1 small red onion, chopped (cue the tears of joy)
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (because variety is the spice of life)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (for that aromatic ambience)
  • 3 lbs organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts (the stars of our show)
  • Salt and pepper (the dynamic duo of seasonings)
  • 12 dried figs, chopped (adding sweetness to the spectacle)
  • 1 cup butternut squash, chopped (the supporting actor with a squashy personality)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (the liquid courage for our culinary adventure)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (the poetic touch)
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped (for a tarragon-tastic twist)
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh sage, chopped (because we’re cooking with wisdom)

Instructions (the script):

  1. In a large skillet, play director by placing the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and let them sauté for 5 minutes. Imagine the kitchen as your stage, and these ingredients are putting on a sizzling performance!
  2. Rinse the chicken, pat it dry (like a spa day for poultry), and season with salt and pepper. Add it to the skillet, giving each side a tan for about 5 minutes. This is the part where your chicken gets its golden glow.
  3. Transfer the entire cast of flavors from the skillet to your slow cooker, creating a masterpiece in layers. It’s like assembling the Avengers of the kitchen – each ingredient with its unique superpower.
  4. Let the slow cooker take the spotlight and cook on low for 6 hours. This is where the magic happens, and your kitchen transforms into a culinary theater.
