Story
|
The reason I brown the chicken (rather than just putting it in the crock pot raw) is because I like the color and added flavor browning gives it. You'll notice the difference.
If you really want to add more flavor, saute the vegetables in the pan after the chicken is browned and removed. Put the sauted veggies in the crock pot, then stir the soups and broth into the skillet to remove the browned bits before dumping in the crock pot. Any time you can cook and loosen up the browned bits from a skillet before adding ingredients to the crock pot, you'll be rewarded with much more flavor.
