Are you looking for a tasty new chicken recipe that is super easy? Crock Pot Garlic Tomato Chicken is a huge hit in this house!
Cris here.
To say we love this Crock Pot Garlic Tomato Chicken from Gooseberry Patch’s Super Fast Slow Cooking cookbook would be an understatement. We ate it in soft tacos (drained) and ladled over rice while the original recipe called for it to be served over cooked rotini.
Mikey even figured out a trick with his Crock Pot Lunch Warmer… he would put uncooked minute rice (1/2 cup) in the bottom with 1/2 cup broth and then ladle in the garlic chicken we had cooked the day before. Once he got to work, he plugged his warmer in and he said after about 20-30 min it was perfect! He took leftovers that entire week!
Crock Pot Garlic Tomato Chicken Notes
There really aren’t a lot of notes on this dish because it is so simple to throw together.
- We used boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. It would also be good with boneless skinless chicken thighs.
- We used one of our favorite 6 qt slow cookers, however, any 4-6 qt slow cooker should work for this recipe.
Hope you guys enjoy this as much as we do!!

I’m sorry, I made this for dinner tonight, and it was not very good.
So sorry you didn’t enjoy it as much as we did, Vicki. Unfortunately not every recipe can be everyone’s cup of tea. Hope you find something else on the site to enjoy.
Have you tried doing this in the insta pot?
Unfortunately we have not yet.
This is absolutely delicious. Every time I fix it my husband can’t stop raving about it. We like it over penne pasta. (This dish freezes very well – after thawing I add the pasta to it, however on first serving I spoon it over the pasta so that the pasta doesn’t get soggy on leftovers.)
This sounds absolutely scrumptious!!
Do you drain the canned tomatoes?
