For the gravy:

• 1 cup dry white wine
• ¼ cup flour
• 2 cups broth, from under the chicken after it’s cooked

INSTRUCTIONS

• Rinse the chicken, discarding any extra pieces from the inside of the chicken. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
• Create an even layer of the sliced onions on the bottom of the slow cooker and lay the chicken over the onions.
• Place a garlic half on each side of the chicken. Stuff two lemon halves inside of the chicken cavity. The remaining two lemon halves should be placed on each side of the chicken.

To make a gravy:

• Transfer the onions and about two cups of the liquid to a medium skillet. Discard the garlic and lemons.
• Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the wine to the chicken renderings and heat until the liquid is hot. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking until thickened.

FRIDAY

Banana Pudding Poke Cake

INGREDIENTS

• Yellow cake mix
• Eggs
• Bananas
• Vegetable oil
• Sour cream
• Instant banana pudding
• Whipped topping
• Vanilla cookies

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13×9-inch pan.
• Beat first 5 ingredients with mixer on low speed, just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat on medium speed an additional 2 minutes.
• Pour into prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife in the center comes out clean.
• Allow cake to cool completely. Poke cake every 1/2 inch with the handle of a wooden spoon.
• Meanwhile, prepare pudding as directed. Don’t let the pudding set in the fridge. Pour it right on top of the cake and spread out with the back of a spoon or spatula. The pudding will seep into the holes, making the cake incredibly moist.
• Cover and place in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
• Remove the cake from the fridge and place a layer of banana slices over the pudding.
• Spread whipped topping over the top of cake.
• Just before serving, sprinkle with crushed vanilla cookies.
