Cook Time

Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Begin by heating the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the diced onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion has softened.
2. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for an additional 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
3. Add the white wine, chicken stock, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the slow cooker and add the chicken thighs. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
6. Serve the chicken with the mushrooms and wine sauce. Enjoy!
