Three Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes

As we approach warmer weather, I look forward to time away from work in the yard and garden, playing with children and cooking on the grill. Not all meals must be grilled during warm months, though. Like all other times of the year we are very busy people who do not have time to wait for food to cook. So just like any other time of year, I use my slow cooker to make easier the dinner hour.

My youngest son has finally got a fastidious approach to food, and chicken is a food of choice. In this spirit, I found some chicken recipes that pass our two requirements: easy to prepare, simple and few ingredients and cooked in a crock pot. There you go, perfect for busy people who are not at all interested in messing around in the kitchen for very long.

Here are three easy chicken recipes for your slow cooker. The three recipes are affordable, easy to prepare and contain ingredients that children eat. They are good anytime of year and thus make large batches, if necessary. Enjoy a meal out of time in the kitchen!

Slow cooking tip: Do not be tempted to lift the lid and peek at the plate. Every time you lift the lid you should add an extra 15 minutes cooking time. Most kitchens have a transparent lid, so you should be able to see what happens.
