I just love this recipe. I hadn’t made it in a while and when I was thinking about what we could share on the channel and blog next it hit me! Crock Pot Pepper Jack Chicken! I have made this dish for years in one form or another. It does have somewhat of an unusual ingredient for a dish like this, BUT trust me it is sooo good!

Crock Pot Cooking in an RV

Sometimes when we go out on adventure we aren’t sure how long we will be away from the camper. Slow cookers with “warm” settings (like our Ninja)  that kick on after the cooking time are a lifesaver for those days. However, as much as the “warm” feature can save the day, they can also dry out dishes (I’m looking at you chicken breasts…) if you aren’t careful. That is one reason we like to cook with chicken thighs (or beef) on those days. Dishes that call for chicken thighs or beef tend to be able to withstand cooking beyond the original cooking time better than chicken breasts or pork.

How to Make Pepper Jack Chicken in a Crock Pot

Making this dish in a slow cooker is super simple. You just place the chicken down in a 6 quart slow cooker season and layer on the veggies. Cook the dish on low for 4-6 hours until chicken easily shreds when stirring. Top with cheese and cook on high until cheese melts. Ta-Dah! So easy and so good.

Notes on Crock Pot Pepper Jack Chicken

  • We used our 6 quart Ninja to cook up this dish, but you can use any 6 quart slow cooker.
  • We now have an Instant Pot version of this recipe too: Instant Pot Pepper Jack Chicken
  • The whole frozen green beans may seem like an odd addition, but trust me it is so yummy. We always use whole frozen beans. Fresh beans would likely turn out more crisp and canned would give it an entirely different texture.
  • You can use a different cheese than pepper jack, but then the dish won’t be pepper jack chicken ;).
  • You can use chicken breasts instead of boneless skinless thighs, but the cooking time will likely be less than the thighs. Watch closely so you don’t dry out the chicken breasts.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

      We haven’t tried cooking this on high, but it should work. You will want to shorten the cooking time to 2-3 hours and watch it closely the first time you make it so you can adjust the cooking time as needed for your particular crock pot. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!

    Loved this! Seriously yummy recipe. Next day I didn’t even take the time to warm left overs. I needed a snack so I looked in the refrigerator grabbed the leftovers, just to have a bite or two 🙂 but, next thing I know I ate it all standing at the kitchen counter. Can’t wait to make it again.

      We haven’t tried this with less chicken, but it could work. With less chicken, the cooking time will change. Make sure you watch it closely the first time you make it so you can adjust the cooking time as needed. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

      It sounds like your slow cooker cooks hot. Every slow cooker cooks differently. That is why we always recommend watching a recipe closely the first time you make it to adjust the cooking times as needed for your particular unit. For example, if I am cooking something in one of my crock pots that I know cooks hot and the recipe is for 4-6 hours, I will start checking it around the 3 hour mark with a food thermometer and make a note on the recipe of when it is done for that slow cooker. I hope that helps.

      We haven’t tried this with any other cheese, but you might try Monterey Jack. Personally, I cannot handle much spiciness, but enjoy this recipe. The butter and cooking juices from the chicken help to cut the heat. If you give it a try with Monterey Jack Cheese, let us know how it goes!

      Hi Shaunna!

      The USDA recommends all meat be thawed prior to cooking in a slow cooker. You can read all of the Food Safety Basics for Slow Cookers here: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/slow-cookers-and-food-safety.

      Enjoy!

    I see a lot of recipes that sear the meat first before putting into the crockpot. Could I do that in this recipe>

    Can’t wait to try this recipe.

      Hi Michael!

      We haven’t tried this in a 4 quart, but if all the ingredients fit, it should work, but will most likely have a longer cooking time. So, make sure you watch it closely the first time you make it to adjust the cooking time as needed. If the ingredients do not fit, reduce the ingredients equally so that it will fit. Hope this helps!
