10 Great Crockpot Recipes With Chicken Breast

Crock Pot Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

This is such an amazingly easy takeout alternative. With this crockpot chicken recipe, the breasts are cooked in a sauce that includes honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Once they’re nice and tender, you simply serve your shredded chicken in an iceberg lettuce wrap (like a tortilla but healthy), with a sprinkle of chopped green onion and crunchy chow mein noodles. So easy but so good! I also have a slightly different non-crockpot version of this recipe too.

There is nothing like a serving of moist and delicious Southern cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving. But you don’t have to wait until the holidays to enjoy this crockpot chicken and cornbread dressing recipe. In the crockpot, you’ll find an enticing combination of cornbread, cream of chicken soup, grounded sage, chopped turkey or chicken breast, onion, and boiled eggs. Serve this slow cooker recipe with some extra chicken or turkey, a side of cranberry sauce, and some fresh green beans.

Chicken Fajitas in the Crock Pot

This chicken fajitas in the crockpot recipe is the perfect choice for Taco Tuesday. It features chicken, peppers, and onions mixed in a homemade fajita seasoning that will blow your mind. Serve your tender and flavorful chicken fajitas in tortillas with your favorite toppings, like shredded cheddar cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.

Crockpot Cashew Chicken

This crockpot cashew chicken is a takeout favorite that’s so easy to make at home. For this recipe, I use teriyaki marinade and sauce to flavor my boneless chicken breast. Cook chicken and cashews in the slow cooker and serve it with white or brown rice and your favorite vegetables.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice (Crockpot Version)

Let me introduce you to one of Southern Plate’s most popular recipes of all time. Featuring flavorful Zatarain rice, cream of chicken soup, and gooey cheese, this crockpot cheesy chicken and rice recipe is a scrumptiously easy weeknight dinner option. I also have a non-crockpot version of this recipe.

The sauce is a delectable combination of cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, butter, minced garlic, and Italian dressing mix. Talk about creamy!

Slow Cooker Angel Chicken

Speaking of delicious chicken and pasta recipes, this easy slow cooker chicken recipe is also a creamy comfort food dish. The chicken breast is slow-cooked in a sauce that is similar to the recipe above but includes Italian dressing, chicken broth, golden mushroom soup, and cream cheese. As the name suggests, serve your chicken over angel hair pasta.

North Alabama-Style Pulled BBQ Chicken

This is a chicken version of the barbecue pulled pork you find at just about every BBQ joint in North Alabama.
