This one pot Crockpot Italian Chicken recipe is similar to the Crockpot Italian Chicken recipe that we’ve done here before. The difference is, there’s a few extra steps AND you get sides cooked along with it! Yay! I love one pot meals!!

I do not have six children, but I have a neighborhood of them. I like to have the hang out house. I at least know what the children are doing and with whom they hang out . LOL
That's awesome! It's good to be the one where the children hang out, I agree. Think of how much influence you could have on them. We don't live in a neighborhood any more.
Sorry, but just realized that recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken breast. Can you use bone in chicken instead?
I'm sure that would be just fine. I have a thing against bones (weird personal preference)….so I always go with boneless skinless. I would think a whole chicken would be good like this, too.
The freezer directions are incomplete. What comes after peel the carrots?
I also want to thank you for your ideas. I love my crockpot and would forget to take something out of freezer to cook in it. These recipes are GREAT.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Oh I'm so sorry. i will check and see if I can fix it! You're welcome. I'm glad to help. Thank you so much to let me know when you see a mistake. I think I posted these recipes at 2 in the morning and I was starting to make lots of mistakes! Eating this way has definitely saved my evenings. They're much less stressed and a whole lot more enjoyable!
