Here’s a simple and delicious Crockpot Chicken 🍗 recipe—set it and forget it for an easy, flavorful meal:
Ingredients
- 4–6 chicken breasts or thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- 2–3 carrots (cut into chunks, optional)
- 2–3 potatoes (cut into chunks, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot
- Spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil.
- Layer Ingredients
- Place onion slices and garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Lay chicken on top.
- Add carrots and potatoes if using.
- Pour chicken broth over everything and sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature 75 °C / 165 °F).
- Serve
- Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread.
- Optionally, spoon some juices over chicken for extra flavor.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, sear chicken in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before adding to the crockpot.
- Add cream, cheese, or herbs at the end for a richer sauce.
- You can shred the chicken after cooking to make tacos, sandwiches, or casseroles.
