When you work outside the home, there is nothing more valuable than the time you have with your kids when you get done with your work. However, if you are trying to cook more real food, you end up spending that time cooking. This can be great if you kids love to help (like mine now does), however, this wasn’t and isn’t always the case.
I have found it makes things a lot easier if I spend a few minutes in the morning to throw everything into a crockpot and just hit ‘start’. Then when I get home it is all done!

friend piqued my curiosity when she told me about her co-worker bringing in a slow cooker to work with just a whole chicken and slow cooking it for an entire day. She often brought her slow cooker in with some kind of concoction so she could bring dinner over to her friend’s house who was going through chemotherapy treatment. What a great friend, I’m sure her friend appreciated it. My friend told me their office often smelled really good during these days.

So when I was on the hunt for a chicken slow cooker recipe, I googled and found this one. It’s incredibly simple and the chicken goes into the crockpot in minutes. I added my own twist to it and guess what? The chicken is wonderfully moist and it’s very simple. After the chicken is done, you can throw it in your broiler to crisp up the skin. Carving the chicken is so easy because it just wants to fall apart. The breast comes right off the bone and is very easy to cut up. The chicken is really tender and flavorful and much easier than roasting a chicken in the oven.
I use a 3.5 to 4.5 pound chicken and it fits just fine in my slow cooker. I added the carrots and vegetables and the chicken rests nicely on them. Also, I added garlic and lemon. My favorite roast chicken recipe calls for garlic and lemon inside the chicken so I do the same when I make it in the crockpot.
This makes a wonderfully easy meal you can serve with mashed potatoes or rice and your favorite vegetable alongside the carrots and celery if you wish. And I make chicken pot pies with the leftover chicken.

Updated: I recently did a lemon pepper version of this recipe & put together a video just to show you how easy it is to put together!

I put the vegetables in the slow cooker first. Then, prep the chicken.

Rinse the chicken with water and wipe it dry with a clean paper towel. Rub the outside of the chicken with garlic and place the garlic inside. Fold the wings back below the chicken.

Add the rub to the outside and inside of the chicken. And place the lemon quarters inside. I try to put the insides of the lemons up against the insides of the chicken, see how the outsides of the lemon quarters are touching?

Place the chicken on top of the vegetables. This creates the best cooking situation for the chicken. Cooking a whole chicken inside of the slow cooker creates a lot of broth and resting the chicken on top of veggies keeps the chicken from failing apart too much.
I use turkey lifters to remove the chicken from the crockpot carefully. Place chicken in an oven safe dish or roasting pan & in the broiler for just about 4-5 minutes.

But it’s inevitable, the chicken does fall apart a little bit. The meat is so moist and tender and it’s honestly, the only way we make a roast chicken these days!
As the busy mom of three busy boys, I certainly don’t always have the time to cook dinner, but I don’t really like to eat out. Then one wonderful Christmas, I was given a Crockpot. I have to say the Crockpot is a massively underrated kitchen gadget. It makes meals that taste like you slaved all day, that really only require a few moments prep-time. However, this article is not about Crockpot cookers. No, this article is about something far better birthed by Crockpots — chicken pot pie. My Crockpot gift led me to explore many recipes, but none so belly-busting as the one I have worked out for chicken pot pie. But first…
Lately, I’ve been seeing some Crock Pot Rotisserie Chicken Recipes floating around on Pinterest. Like many other things I see on Pinterest, I assumed this was too good to be true. Succulent, evenly cooked, rotisserie style chicken from a crock pot? No way. But I adore rotisserie chicken, and if there was an easy way to make it at home myself without having to buy yet another appliance to fit into my already cluttered kitchen, well then I was game to give it a try. I reviewed a few recipes and notes, and created my own version. The key is to stick the chicken under the broiler first to crisp up the skin and seal in the moisture of the chicken. Then pop in in your slow cooker for the rest of the time to cook through. I was absolutely AMAZED at how good it turned out!! Seriously delicious. It was incredibly moist and juicy, and was totally falling off the bone. And it was way better than the rotisserie chickens I’ve purchased at stores or restaurants. From now on, this is the only way I’ll have rotisserie chicken – it was that good, people. Just note that the nutritional information and the Weight Watchers Points + I’ve calculated for this recipe is based on the WHOLE chicken, with the SKIN REMOVED. I added up the stats from the entire chicken and then divided it by 8 servings. So, your Points + may vary a bit, depending on whether you are eating breast, thigh, wing, etc. But most importantly, remove the skin! This will be one of the best Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipes you’ve ever made.
