Chicken and Crock Pots go together like peas and carrots. There’s a very high margin of error here and as you’ll see many recipes have a large window of when they’ll be done, often giving you an entire hour to decide if it’s ready or not. This makes for an easy, yet healthy way to cook for two or more people. We’ve assembled some of the best tasting chicken recipes you can make in your slow cooker with a strong emphasis on using healthy and wholesome ingredients. Enjoy!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I LOVE MY CROCKPOT. With two young kids, I am busy…constantly. And cooking a healthy Weight Watchers Recipe in my crockpot, can make getting dinner together an absolute breeze. This Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe is one of the kids’ favorites, and it’s just 6 Points + per serving (without the toppings). I just throw in all of the ingredients in the morning, then come dinner time, it’s ready to go! That long, slow simmering process gives the fiberrific soup such fantastic flavor, which I love. Of course, no chicken tortilla soup would be complete without some toppings, so feel free to add on whatever you like – just make sure you calculate the extra Point or two that it may add. Here are some great topping suggestions: avocado slices, reduced fat shredded Montery Jack cheese, sour cream, jalapeño slices, diced red onion, crumbled tortilla chips, chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

A friend recently asked me what hoisin sauce tasted like because she wasn’t sure she had tried it. Once I got over my initial mock horror (haven’t tried hoisin sauce, the best condiment ever to be siphoned into a glass jar?!), I told her that it is a thick, rich Chinese barbecue sauce with the saltiness of soy sauce and a slight sweetness.

Just good all-around.

When I pulled out my slow cooker that day, I had hoisin sauce on the brain and chicken in the fridge. Dinner came together from there. I love it when that happens!

I’m not kidding when I say that it just doesn’t get any easier than this recipe. Just pour the 6-ingredient sauce over the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the slow cooker, and cook for an hour and a half.

Once the chicken is cooked, all that’s left to do is shred the meat and boil the sauce with some cornstarch to make it rich and thick.

There is nothing like a lazy Sunday when you have a meal cooking all day in the crock pot and the aroma of food is in the air, or coming home from work on a weeknight and having dinner ready when you get home. I love my slow cooker and this chicken chili is a delicious, low point, high fiber meal. It's so easy to make and it is great over rice, with multi-grain chips, topped with low fat cheddar cheese or low fat sour cream. This makes a lot and it is even better the next day for lunch!

Two weeks ago was still pretty summery.  Last week was wintery {see my Instagram :( :( :( }.  This week seems to be pretty autumny.

Mother Nature is trying to keep us on our toes.  I have to check the Weather Network before dressing in the morning!

Whatever the weather is doing, I am doing my own thing.  It’s called soups and stews.  And big chunks of bread.

Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Stew


Basically, my slow cooker has come out to play again.

I am still pretty new to the whole slow cooker thing; we never had one growing up, and  I am slowly learning what you can and cannot do in a slow cooker.

Can: big tough cuts of meat…after hours in the slow cooker they are heavenly soft and falling apart.  Example: Slow Cooker Jamaican Beef Tacos with Mango Salsa.

Cannot: actually cook chicken for 10 hours, even though that’s what the temperature setting says.  Example: um, that one did NOT make it on the blog!

DO:  add more spices and seasoning to the slow cooker just before serving.  Love this one, I used this tip in the Slow Cooker Chicken & Sweet Potato Korma, and that step is the magical step.

This recipe is another one inspired by something my mom cooked for us just after Kai was born.  I remember looking at this chicken stew and not thinking much of it.  But then we dug in {with huge chunks of bread, completely mandatory!} and…holy yum.

The potatoes and the chicken and rosemary and THE BREAD…just so delicious, soul-warming and not a drop {or a crumb} were left behind.

 With that stew as an inspiration, I set out to recreate it in slow cooker form….but once I got going, it evolved into a new version, that tasted completely different, but still totally delicious and comforting, and {duh} amenable to bread-dunking.

I added some crushed fennel seeds, because I love the flavor it gives to soups and stews.  The rosemary is also delish, make sure you try to get the fresh stuff, it makes a big difference!  I added some white wine because I can’t NOT add white wine to my soups.  Just can’t.  And my favorite part was the addition of a few teaspoons of balsamic vinegar just before serving.  It gives it a tiny hint of sweet and a teeny bit of tanginess.

My FAVORITE PART: throw it all in the crockpot and hit start.  Walk away for 4-6 hours.  I love this.  {Yes, browning your chicken and then deglazing the pan with the wine adds more flavor, but the non-browned version is still reeeeally good, great news for us lazy busy people}.
