This slow cooker chicken recipe is a winner! You know how we all have a couple of recipes up our sleeve that are amazingly delicious and check off all the boxes?  This one is one of those!

If you know me, or have been following me, you probably know how much I LOVE my slow cooker, particularly my Crockpot.  If you haven’t bought one already, check out my previous blog post ’10 reasons to buy a slow cooker.’

The slow cooker I own is the Crockpot Multicooker 5-in-1.  This replaced my previous Crockpot which had only the slow cook function.  Besides slow cooking, with the Crockpot Multicooker 5-in-1 can also steam, bake, roast and sauté.  I bought mine off Amazon for a €150 delivered to Malta.  You can buy it here.

One of things I am an expert at is adapting all types of recipes I come across to be cooked in a slow cooker.  Whilst browsing for new recipes to try, I came across this recipe called ‘Three Herb Chicken & Mushroom’ which looked delicious, and easy to adapt.

What I loved about this recipe

– It’s easy to make
– The list of ingredients is not too long
– Ingredients are easy to source
– You can cook extra portions at one go
– It may be frozen
– The kids gobbled it up! It tasted lovely with mash potato and the recipe’s gravy!

I found the original recipe on www.completerecipes.com.

I decided to go for double the ingredients to fill my slow cooker up nicely.  The ingredients fit perfectly, and I ended up with 4 batches of the recipe, for a family of four.  We are big eaters, so although my daughter is 3 years old, beware, my portions are probably a little on the large side! 🙂

This slow cooker chicken recipe smells as divine as it tastes.  I did all the prep work in the evening, then popped the slow cooker pot into the fridge.  Next morning, at 6:30am, my husband switched it on and set it to cook on low for 6 hours.  The slow cooker automatically switches to the ‘keep warm’ function at the end of it’s course.  Dinnertime was at 5:30pm, and the timing was perfect.  The chicken was so tender, very juicy, and really tasty!

Here goes the recipe…enjoy!

Slow Cooker Herb Chicken & Mushroom

This is an easy yet impressive dish which is loved by all the family.

Quick tip: I did all the prep work in the evening and popped the slow cooker pot in the fridge. Next morning, I took it out and set it to cook. It switched automatically to keep warm for 5 hours until we had dinner - and it came out absolutely superb.

Try it, you will love it too!
