Cris here. I recently took one of our favorite roast recipes from Gooseberry Patch’s Busy-Day Slow Cooking and adapted it to make this fantastic Crock Pot Easy Italian Chicken. (Mikey made you a video for this recipe!)

Crock Pot Easy Italian Chicken Notes

  • We have tried this recipe in both our  Calphalon Digital Slow Cooker, 4-Quart and Crock Pot 6 Qt Single Hand Cook & Carry Slow Cooker with Digital Control and both cooked it up beautifully, but the 6 qt took a little less time than the 4 qt.
  • We served ours over cooked cavatappi pasta, but you could use elbow macaroni or spaghetti.
  • We used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You can use chicken breasts if you would like, however, the dish may not be as tender as what is pictured here.

    Hi Chris do you think this recipe could be made ahead and frozen?

      We haven’t tried making this ahead of time and freezing it. It might work, but we can’t say for sure without testing it first. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!

      Hi Kara- I fixed the recipe card. Sorry about that!

    This is probably a stupid question, but what do you mean by garlic and herb sauce? A dried seasoning packet?

      Hi Jennifer! Not a stupid question at all. It is with the gravy mixes. If you can’t find it, I have used pesto mix and even Italian dressing mix as a substitution. Hope that helps!

      Thank you for the prompt reply, and sorry for the repeat question. I’m new to the site and can now see that all questions and replies are visible to readers.

      On another note, what a great idea for a blog! I use my slowcooker all year and wish I would have come across your blog sooner.

    I’m curious about the garlic and herb packet, it’s it sold like the slow cooker mixes/seasonings or like a salad dressing mix?

      Mickey is right, I have also made the Mississippi Pot Roast and it is delicious! Anxious to try it with the chicken, and Mickey, I did chuckle when you forgot the seasoning pkg. but I knew it would be fine, so you did good!!

    […] Crock Pot Easy Italian Chicken was a spin on the Italian Pot Roast in the cookbook that we absolutely love. The chicken was amazing as well! Love getting two dish ideas out of this delicious recipe. Both are in our regular menu rotation. […]
