How to Make Homestyle Chicken in a Slow Cooker
Cris here. The other day I was flipping through our recipes and I saw Aunt Lou’s Homestyle Crock Pot Pork Chops (pictured below)ย and I got to thinking that it reminded me a little of one of my favorite Skillet Chickenย recipes.ย So, I decided to try the pork chop recipe with chicken tenders instead.
Now back to your regularly scheduled chicken ๐
I was absolutely thrilled with the results and I ate every single morsel on my plate. Sometimes you just need a yummy home cooked meal, ya know ๐ ย I adore recipes like this… Simple, delicious and down right good!
Homestyle Crock Pot Chicken Notes:
- I used a large gallon sized baggie to coat all of my chicken. Just pour all of your coating ingredients in and smoosh (technical term ๐ ) things around until everything is coated.
- After coating there will be a little extra flour in the the bag. Save the extra flour mixture as you will need it for your sauce.
- I used ourย Cuisinart 6 Qt 3 in 1 Slow Cookerย because this recipe had a browning step. This slow cooker allows you to actually brown IN the pot. You could do your browning step in a skillet and then transfer to any 5-6 qt slow cooker.

I am going to try these in my instant pot since I could brown them like you did and then use the slow cook setting. I have a non stick inner pot.
Love this recipe! Iโve also used to do baked steak in my crockpot just by substituting round steak and beef broth. I once did deer meat for a wild game feed and it was a hit!
So glad you enjoyed it as much as we do, Michelle!
As I am new to your site… I was wondering if you could tell me if I should slow cook on High or Low for the 2 1/2 hours.
Hi Pam!
Welcome! Cook it on high.
Enjoy!!
This is the next recipe I’m making in the crockpot….delicious!!!
