Here’s a simple and flavorful slow cooker chicken recipe 🍗⏲️ — perfect for a hands-off, cozy meal.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup cream or coconut milk (optional for creamy version)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: 2–3 carrots, sliced, or potatoes for a complete meal
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker
- Spray the inside with cooking spray or lightly oil.
- Season the chicken
- Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- Layer ingredients
- Place onions and optional veggies at the bottom.
- Lay chicken on top and sprinkle with garlic.
- Pour chicken broth over everything.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.
- Optional creamy finish
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in cream or coconut milk for a richer sauce.
- Serve
- Serve chicken with sauce over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Add a splash of lemon juice or soy sauce to the broth.
- Thicker sauce: Mix 1–2 tsp cornstarch with a little water and stir into the sauce near the end of cooking.
- Variety: You can use bone-in chicken, but reduce cooking time slightly if using smaller pieces.
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker honey garlic chicken or creamy ranch chicken version that’s extra rich and flavorful 😄
