3 Super Easy Chicken Crockpot Recipes
Here are 3 easy chicken crockpot recipes your family will love! These chicken recipes are perfect to make for dinner on busy days. You can take 2 minutes to throw everything in the crockpot in the morning and by dinner time, you will have a tasty family chicken dinner ready to eat.
These chicken crockpot recipes are perfect for families with kids because they don’t have any crazy ingredients that picky eaters will eye suspiciously! Even though they are tasty, they are simple and versatile enough to serve with a wide variety of sides and vegetables.
We most often serve these recipes with rice and an easy vegetable, but you can also serve with other things like potatoes, pasta or bread.
Since I’m often in a hurry and don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I will usually microwave a fresh frozen vegetable like broccoli, green beans or mixed vegetables, along with the rice. You might also want to serve with a side salad or a sliced veggie tray. For veggie trays, I will usually serve bably carrots, sliced cucumbers, peppers and whatever else I have on hand. And don’t forget – If you have fresh garden vegetables, use them as a side!
You can also mix and match things that seem to go with the theme of the chicken recipe. For example, if you’re serving the salsa chicken, you could serve with Spanish rice, beans, sopapillas or any other Mexican-themed sides.
If you’re serving the barbecue chicken, you might want to serve it with corn on the cob, broccoli and cornbread. The barbecue chicken is also great shredded and served on buns as barbecue chicken sandwiches. After cooking it on the crockpot, the chicken shreds easily by pulling it apart with 2 forks. Then throw some french fries or tater tots in the oven and serve with salad or a veggie tray.
These easy chicken crockpot recipes also make great leftovers! You can shred the leftover salsa chicken to serve the next day in chicken tacos or you can use leftover barbecue chicken for chicken sandwiches. The leftovers from these crockpot chicken recipes are super easy to use to make many other recipes, so don’t tell the family they are eating leftovers. You’re just planning ahead for additional meals to save time!
