There is something about this recipe that is so irresistible to me. The humble combination of pickle relish, Dijon and mayo coating tender chicken thighs is fantastic. The slow cooker means a cool kitchen, too, in the middle of a hot summer.
Slow Cooker Picnic Chicken
Ingredients:
4 large chicken thighs, with skin
¼ cup dill pickle relish
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup chicken broth
Additional relish to garnish, if you like
Directions:
1. Rinse chicken well; pat dry. Place in a greased 5-6 quart slow cooker skin side up.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the relish, mustard, and mayonnaise. When well blended, stir in the chicken broth. Mix well.
3. Pour sauce over the chicken.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken is tender, but not dry. Really good served over rice.

I made the dish again with skinless thighs and it was just as delicious, but looked a touch washed out.
How about joining me on a psychedelic musical picnic?
Check out Sky Picnic on the band’s Website, where you can learn of some upcoming gigs in Brooklyn and buy their music.

My slow cooker is my friend. Especially when I am extra busy in the summer. This is definitely a picnic dish. I can see myself having that picnic right on my patio.
I hope you enjoy it!
This is delicious! The relish and mustard give it a very mild tang that is mighty tasty. Yum!
Thanks for letting me know. That is one of the easiest slow cooker dinners, too! I second that Yum!
