Embarrassingly Easy Slow Cooker Chicken

Well, here is is - the perfect recipe for Single Guys, Harassed Mamas, and Harried Homesteaders getting ready for their son and new daughter-in-law’s wedding reception!😁

And since a picture is worth a thousand words, this Harried Homesteader threw on a little lipstick, pulled some flowers off the kitchen table & stuck ‘em in front of the camera, and shot this quick, highly unprofessional video in one take. (A tank top & shorts? Really, Jen? Yep - real life around here.)

Is it Fast Food? Is it Slow Food? Folks, this is the best of both worlds.

Seriously: This recipe is so easy that a child could do it.  So while mama gets the littles ready for church, task the oldest with putting a chicken in the crockpot with a little water, adding the simplest of seasonings, and turning it on! Really - that’s all there is to it.

• It solves “What’s for lunch” after church on Sunday.

• It solves the “We’re starving” complaints surrounding games & practices.

• And it just brings calm to the kitchen.

Just ask Nick. My son Nick, who LIVES on protein and dances on the edge of the Carnivore Diet, said that almost nothing makes him happier than opening the fridge and seeing a huge pile of pre-cooked chicken.

Collins Cluckery chicken, that is. Most of my kids at some time or other have told me our chicken has spoiled them! My daughter Bekah, shuddering, told me she and her friend were at a restaurant the other day and couldn’t eat more than one bite of “that other chicken.”

And my friend’s CAT even refused restaurant chicken… “But he never refuses Cluckery chicken,” she said. Love it! Now that’s MY kind of testimonial!😁

Back to this recipe, I love asking folks for their favorite recipes when they pick up their chickens; often the single guys give me some variation of this!  Several of them like the largest chickens I've got:  they put it in the crockpot and eat all week.  Others pull it off the bone and freeze it in single-serve packages.

So grab your Cluckery chicken and your slow cooker and spend 5 minutes watching this video HERE.

Then tell me: what is YOUR favorite way to dress up a slow cooker chicken?

• Rice and garden-fresh thyme, with a little lemon juice squeezed on at the end for Chicken Lemon Rice soup?

• Soy sauce, sesame seeds, sprouts, scallions, and cashews for an Asian twist?

• Potatoes, green beans, and a little rosemary for an all-in-one meal?
