Preparation

Step 1

Combine the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with the seasoning blend.

Heat the oil and butter in the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven over medium heat for 3–5 minutes. Brown the chicken, skin-side down, for 4–5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the Dutch oven and set aside.

Add the cauliflower and pressed garlic to the Dutch oven and stir to combine. Top with the chicken and cover. Place in the Rockcrok® Slow Cooker Stand and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours.

Remove the chicken. Drain the cauliflower in a colander and return it to the Dutch oven. Mash the cauliflower and season to taste. Place the chicken on top. If desired, the chicken can be browned further: place the Dutch oven under a preheated broiler on HIGH for 2–3 minutes. Top with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.
