How to Make Dilly Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
My 7 yr old daughter loves pickles. She loves her Aunt Cris’ Homemade Refrigerator Pickles so much that Miss Add has nicknamed her Pickle. However, she loves all things pickle. So, when I was trying to think of a new recipe idea and wandered across the Dilly Crock Pot Roast, I knew I had to try it with chicken for her. My entire family loved this recipe, not just my daughter. The flavor was awesome!
You may notice that this has a shorter cooking time than we normally have for chicken thighs. There is a simple reason for that. The browning step at the beginning makes it possible to have a shorter cooking time. So, this chicken cooks up really fast.
For this recipe, I have the option of adding crumbled bacon on top of the chicken at the end. We were so excited to try this recipe that I may have forgotten to put them on the first time I served it and for the photo. However, the bacon makes a great addition. So, you can eat this yummy chicken with or without the bacon. Either way, I hope you love it as much as we do!

LOVED this, thanks.
FYI: Relish comes in dill so you don’t have to chop pickles. I buy it at Walmart for anything that I need relished.
Keep ’em good things comin’.

My husband and I are pickle fans and this recipe is a definite repeat. The pickle flavor was not over powering but a nice enhancer of merging flavors.
