How to Make Italian Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I recently read a comment by one of our readers, Marguerite L., about a recipe she loves to make. She makes it with beef, but I thought I would try it with chicken since we have had quite a few beef recipes in our house lately. We loved this Crock Pot Italian Chicken so much that I look forward to trying it with beef and maybe even pork! It is so yummy! Thanks Marguerite!
If you have read many of my recipes, you know I am a notoriously slow recipe prepper. This one seemed so simple I wanted to see exactly how long it took me to put it together. So, I pulled up my stopwatch on my phone and timed it. From start to finish, it took me two minutes to put this together. Two minutes! So, this would be a great recipe to throw together when you don’t have time to prep anything. Take two minutes and let the crock pot do the rest!

The only comment i saw was the gal said it was too salty. Did you not think it was? If so what can I do to make it less salty? Also im making it for a graduation open house so how much chicken do you think I should use? There will also be pulled pork and other sides. If I triple the recipe, will that be enough? Over 100 we’re invited but of course all won’t come. .
My family and I didn’t find it too salty. If you would like to make it less salty, you can try low sodium ingredients where available. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
I’m sorry for the 2 stars but this recipe was so salty I had to throw it out. It smelled so good as it was cooking too!
Hi Laura!
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy this recipe as much as we do. However, we realize that every recipe isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I hope you find some you love in our over 1500 recipes!
