This time of year, I spend extra time sewing, wrapping, and prepping for all the holiday craziness. I find myself wishing for a couple extra hours in the day, especially that hour before dinner. Seriously, my kids turn into CRAZY people right before dinner. Is that just at my house?? This is why I need a couple of super easy meals a week. It makes me a little less crazy. This crockpot chicken recipe is my go-to sanity saver!
Crockpot chicken recipe
Crockpot chicken is one of my favorite meals, because it is so.stinkin.easy!
- Place chicken in crockpot.
- Add desired seasonings or herbs (I used fresh garlic, sea salt, and rosemary).
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
That’s it! So simple! There’s no need to add any liquid to the crockpot – all the liquid you see in the picture above is made while the chicken cooks. So it stays perfectly moist! You can use whatever kind of seasonings your family enjoys. I typically use rosemary, fresh garlic, and sea salt. I also enjoy using paprika and garlic, or I have a greek seasoning that I love.
Then add a couple easy sides, like instant pot baked potatoes or cilantro lime rice or some steamed veggies.
This dinner had almost zero prep during that dreaded pre-dinner hour.
Whether you have lots of little kids that need lots of attention during the pre-dinner hour or if you’re looking for easy meals on the nights when your kids have sports practices or extra-curricular activities, easy dinners like this are a must-have in my book.
The fall-off-the-bone chicken made meal a total mom win. I love when I can get through a dinner without anyone complaining that they want to eat something else!
I’m all about adding some shortcuts in to make life a little easier!
