Delicious Slow Cooker Chicken

My mom got me hooked on this fantastically easy slow cooker chicken recipe years ago when I was still at home. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be totally customized with various herbs and spices. You seriously can’t mess it up…and throwing all the ingredients in the slow cooker only takes a few minutes.

World’s Easiest Slow Cooker Recipe

• Chicken {I buy organic whole chickens and chicken breasts. Use whatever you like or have on hand.}
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 T. olive oil or butter
• 1/2 t. salt
• freshly ground black pepper {I usually just give my grinder a few twists}
• herbs & spices – garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, McCormick garlic & herb blend etc.

Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. I’ve done both frozen and thawed chicken…so whichever is fine…as long as you get the insides out of a frozen whole chicken before hand.

Add sliced onion, water, salt & pepper, spices, oil or butter. Turn the slow cooker on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. Cover it up and forget about it for the rest of the day…or until you start smelling the deliciousness wafting through your house!

This slow cooker chicken recipe always, always, always produces the most tender, delicious chicken in the world!
