Crockpot chicken recipes are fast and easy to make. Besides, I know that many of us these days avoid red meet, so chicken recipes become more and more of a necessity.

54. Easy Crockpot White Chicken Chili – My Favorite Slow Cooker Recipe!

What do you usually eat when you want something filling but only want it to be served in one bowl or plate and not cook a whole set of meals? For me, I love making stews or chili recipes! 

This white chicken chili recipe is an easy but very tasty meal you can do during chilly nights or days when you just want to sit on your sofa, watch a movie, and be all warm and cozy. 

And the best thing? You will barely need to do the actual cooking (just the preparation stage) since your slow cooker will do all the cooking for you!

53. Keto Crack Chicken Casserole

A chicken dinner prepared with a blend of smooth cream cheese, succulent bacon, tangy ranch, and a hint of cheese is an ultimate culinary delight.

The classic version of the dish combines shredded chicken, cream cheese, crispy bacon, grated cheddar, and Ranch dressing mix. While I am a fan of these components, I am not particularly fond of their mushed-up combination.

The simplicity and rapidity of this chicken breast recipe make it a winner. Plus, it yields generous servings for the entire family. You’d be surprised to learn that the most delicious chicken dish requires only ten minutes of preparation! It’s my go-to dish on weekends, which I usually serve over a bed of cauliflower rice.

It’s a convenient dish to prepare ahead of time and freeze, ensuring a speedy meal solution for future use. This casserole always receives rave reviews!

The baked chicken dish is a beloved dinner option in our household. Considering that it contains crowd favorites like bacon, cream cheese, ranch, and cheese, who could resist it?!

Indeed, freezing this slow cooker chicken dish is possible! Allow it to cool to room temperature, transfer it into freezer bags ensuring all excess air is pressed out, and store it flat in the freezer.

52. Slow Cooker Chicken Chow Mein

Over the past year, with dining out not being a feasible option, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed replicating popular restaurant dishes and takeaway specials at home.

The chow mein I whipped up turned out fantastic! I’ve recreated it numerous times already! You can even expedite the preparation process by opting for a pack of pre-chopped vegetables.

51. Crockpot Mexican Chicken

If you’ve not yet ventured into the realm of chipotle peppers in adobo, I highly encourage you to do so. Essentially, they are smoked jalapeños, and can be easily sourced from most supermarkets.

50. Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken

During my travels in Thailand, I had the opportunity to attend a cooking class, and among all the dishes, the peanut chicken truly stood out.

The way the rich, creamy peanut butter flavor is transformed into a savory delight is simply mind-blowing.

49. Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken

The secret to achieving a homemade sweet and sour chicken that tastes as authentic as a restaurant version involves dusting it with cornstarch, sautéing it until brown, and then introducing it to the slow cooker.

I’d advise preparing extra sauce for dipping your spring rolls into.

48. Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

For those embarking on their first culinary journey into curry preparation, I wholeheartedly recommend this slow cooker butter chicken. It’s lusciously creamy, mildly spiced, and incredibly easy to prepare.

The primary task involves sautéing onions with spices to release their inherent flavors.

The rest is as simple as layering all ingredients into the pot and letting it cook.

47. Slow Cooker Rotisserie Chicken

Rotisserie chickens are incredibly tempting, aren’t they? Whether it’s a purchase from Costco or Walmart, I invariably end up grabbing one from the hot counter.

These chickens are handy, versatile, and invariably delicious.

The slow cooker version is wonderfully straightforward and imparts the perfect seasoning to the chicken.

I prefer slathering a layer of butter over my chicken and drizzling additional butter over it as it cooks – the result is simply irresistible.

46. Ultimate Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti

This recipe appealed to me significantly due to its irresistible elements: a creamy soup, chicken, cheese, and spaghetti.

My sole concern was the Velveeta, which I’m not overly fond of, so I replaced it with cream cheese and additional cheddar – the result was splendid.

I also included a can of tomatoes with chilis for a subtle kick.

45. Crockpot Chicken and Rice Burrito Bowl

This dish is an ideal weeknight meal. It’s satisfying, flavorful, and relatively healthy.

I’ve prepared it several times, and I typically double the chicken base, setting aside half for use in a soup or enchiladas and retaining the remainder for the rice bowl.

Essentially, it’s a two-for-one meal deal!

44. Crockpot Chicken Marsala

Mushrooms and wine are the highlights of this dish, elevating ordinary chicken breasts to a new stratosphere of flavor.

Upon adding the wine and shallot reduction to the pot, the chicken and mushrooms exude such a wealth of delicious juices that permeate the sauce.

43. Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Imagine this: it’s Taco Tuesday, and you return home to a slow cooker brimming with spicy fajita mix. The chicken is succulent, and the peppers are perfectly cooked.

I personally enjoy adding a generous amount of jalapeños to my mix, given our preference for spicy food. Simply get your tortillas and pre-made guacamole ready to serve. It’s that straightforward!

42. The Best Chicken Pot Pie Crockpot Recipe

When you dish up your chicken pot pie, do you find yourself scavenging for additional filling under the pastry? I do the same. The creamy richness is simply irresistible.

41. Chicken Vegetable Soup

Most excellent soups commence with a basic mirepoix – diced carrot, onion, and celery.

This recipe enhances the mirepoix with succulent chicken, garlic, diced tomatoes, and potato chunks.

This hearty soup is bound to satiate you, and the vegetables can be readily substituted. I believe squash would be an excellent alternative.

40. Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo

Want to discover my secret for the ultimate alfredo sauce? I utilize spice bags, which I fill with rosemary, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, and any other herbs available.

Introducing this to the cream imparts extraordinary flavors without the hassle of fishing out stems and leaves.

Simmering the chicken and pasta in the cream elevates the dish significantly.

39. Crockpot One-Pot Chicken Casserole

Chicken, hash browns, vegetables, soup, and cheese? This unusual combination will astound you with its delicious melding of flavors.

This potato-rich, cheesy casserole will soon become your staple. It’s remarkably simple and requires just 10 minutes of prep time.

38. Crockpot Balsamic Chicken

I personally cannot resist the sweet and savory tang of balsamic vinegar, and I am quite partial to those appealing bottles at Marshall’s/Home Goods.

I have quite a collection on my kitchen shelf.

37. Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe

Meat shredded and smothered in BBQ sauce is arguably a heavenly treat. Add some onion rings and spicy coleslaw, and I guarantee I’ll be back for seconds.

If you’re fond of darker meat, consider substituting the chicken breast and reducing the cooking time.

Or use a mix of both, adding the thighs a couple of hours into the cooking process.

36. Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli

Recipes prepared in a slow cooker, such as this Chicken and Broccoli dish made in a Crockpot, resonate with my current quest for adaptability in my evening meals. It’s a health-conscious, stir-fry type of dish that boasts the simplicity of takeout and the comfort of loungewear, offering a relaxed ambiance that’s much appreciated after a long day.

35. Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas

The enchanting aspect of enchiladas must be the succulent shredded chicken tucked inside – and of course, the cheese!

Considering how effortlessly shredded chicken can be prepared in a slow cooker, why would one consider an alternate method?

The chicken is already delectable, but I prefer to mix in onions and peppers for an array of textures.

34. Buffalo Chicken Dip in a Crockpot

Chips paired with dips are quintessential crowd favorites, and it’s hard to go wrong. However, you can take a great leap in the right direction with this exceptionally delicious, warm, and spicy chicken dip.

This dip is so addictive; I find it challenging to resist.

Given that it’s best served warm, I prefer to accompany it with thick slices of French bread and robust pretzels to support all the delightful chicken and cheese.

33. The Best Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

I’m fond of chicken noodle soup. It’s an ideal blend of nutritious broth, filling pasta, and of course, the chicken and vegetables.

I appreciate the soup’s simplicity and lightness, but it can always be thickened with a cornstarch mixture or a touch of heavy cream.

Regardless, I always relish having some crispy bread on hand to mop up the remaining soup.

32. Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken

Juicy teriyaki chicken served over a bowl of hot rice is a comforting dish perfect for a chilly evening.

This recipe is straightforward, using chicken thighs and basic pantry items.

I always keep rice vinegar handy due to the numerous Asian-inspired meals I prepare, but it can be replaced with white wine vinegar or even apple cider if necessary.

31. Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks

I enjoy my chicken drumsticks tender with crispy skin and abundant seasoning.

By marinating the chicken before adding it to the pot, this recipe guarantees no dull bites.

Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, simply broil it briefly to achieve that desired crispy finish.

30. Crockpot Tuscan Chicken

The secret to crafting exceptional slow cooker chicken recipes is understanding that various flavorful ingredients can be included.

Chicken alone can sometimes be monotonous and often requires spices and vegetables to enhance its flavor.

This recipe is anything but bland. It’s packed with sundried tomatoes, garlic, spinach, and the unique tang of artichokes.

29. Crockpot Chicken and Rice

Balancing brown rice, lean chicken, peas, and chopped carrots, this meal is nutritious.

I’ve also incorporated broccoli and corn for an added burst of color and nutrients.

If Greek yogurt isn’t available, it can be replaced with sour cream or heavy cream. However, keep in mind that this will slightly alter the flavor.

28. Crockpot Chicken & Gravy

This is a quick recipe that can simmer on a chilly Sunday, ready to be served with mashed potatoes and generous helpings of stuffing.

Not only does it pack more flavor than a roasted chicken, but it’s also effortless and will have the entire family reaching for seconds.

27. Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Even though this recipe calls for around a dozen ingredients, half are canned, and a majority of the rest are spices and whole chicken breasts.

Other than chopping an onion, all other elements are more or less ready.

As for the preparation: toss everything into the slow cooker and let it simmer. After several hours, the chicken will be succulent and saturated with flavor.

26. Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

This is a recipe that you would look forward to at the end of a long day. After a brief 10-minute preparation, this dish requires 4 hours of high heat or 8 hours on a slow simmer. 

I lean towards the slower cooking method as I can set it up before leaving the house, and by the time I return, a warm meal awaits.

Given its abundant mix of vegetables and potatoes, there’s no need for additional sides.

25. Crockpot Shredded Chicken

While pulled pork is scrumptious if the right cut of meat is used, it can be expensive and not always accessible.

That’s where pulled chicken comes to the rescue. 

It’s as simple as placing a single layer of chicken breast in your slow cooker and allowing it to gently cook on low heat for a few hours.

24. Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings

Depending on the recipe, I occasionally lean towards chicken breast over thighs.

Despite thighs being slightly more flavorful, I appreciate how chicken breasts effortlessly shred into the sauce. 

This creamy chicken and dumpling recipe is incredibly easy to assemble, utilizing chicken soup for taste and canned biscuits for convenience. 

23. Easy Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

This straightforward recipe is the answer for those evenings when you’re hankering for a takeaway meal.

The succulent boneless thighs are an excellent choice to absorb the fantastic flavors, and the slow cooking method ensures they stay moist!

I appreciate that the chicken and sauce simmer together in the slow cooker, and it’s so uncomplicated to prepare.

22. Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

This Honey Garlic Chicken can be served great with rice and broccoli. This is also awesome over noodles or fried rice!
