Couldn't-be-easier Slow Cooker Recipes

I love cooking in my slow cooker, but I don't like complicated recipes. I've found that with the slow cooker, I only need a couple of ingredients to make a delicious main dish. Here are some of my family's favorites.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Variations

Directions

1. Place frozen (or thawed) boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. The actual number you use is up to you. I usually use 3-5 breasts.

2. Then cover the chicken with one of the following and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear:

  • BBQ Chicken: Two jars of barbecue sauce
  • Creamy Chicken and Gravy: Two cans of cream of chicken soup
  • Cheesy Chicken: One can of cream of chicken soup and one can of cheddar cheese soup
  • Spicy Italian Chicken: 1 cup Italian dressing, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup prepared spicy mustard

I often make potatoes to go along with these dishes and use the sauce in the slow cooker as gravy.

    I love these variations! We do a lot of chicken in the crockpot and it's easy to get bored. These are great! Thanks for sharing!

    This is great!! I even have one to add:

    Mexican Chicken: one can diced tomatoes (with green chilies) and one packet of taco seasoning

    I use this as the base for chicken tacos (or quesadillas, or enchiladas), and I've also served it over rice.

    I love doing BBQ chicken and creamy chicken, and will have to try the other two sometime soon.

    I've had a crockpot for several years (got it as a gift) and haven't even opened the box. But these recipes are so simple and require so little effort, that I think I'll just have to bust open that box and whip up some of this yummy chicken!

    Oh, perfect time for me to stumble upon this post! I have frozen chicken breasts in the freezer, and wanted a super-simple crock pot recipe! I think I will try the Italian one today. :)
