Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken Is a Perfect Weeknight Meal. It Is an Easy, Delicious Recipe Your Family Will Love!

We love Slow Cooker Chicken recipes. Some of our favorites include Slow Cooker Mozzarella Chicken & Pasta and Slow Cooker Chicken, Potatoes, and Carrots.

Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken is a consistent favorite in my meal planning rotation. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, and all-around delicious. It’s a meal that both the kids and adults in our family love!

It’s also really easy to make in the slow cooker. You can simply put everything in, set it, and go about your day. When dinner time rolls around, you’ll have an amazing meal ready to go. Sounds good to me!

CAN I ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL?

You definitely can! We love this recipe just as it is, but if you would like to kick up the spiciness a bit, a bit of crushed red pepper or sriracha would go well. Just be sure not to overdo it – a little goes a long way!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN?

I often serve this recipe with either brown or Jasmine rice and some steamed vegetables, but it would also be good with potato wedges and a salad. It’s a pretty flexible dish, so you have plenty of options!

WILL SLOW COOKER BROWN SUGAR GARLIC CHICKEN FREEZE WELL?

This is one of my favorite things about this dish (well, besides the amazing flavor)…it freezes so well! There are times that I make extra, just to have leftovers on hand. The leftovers can be warmed up and served as is, but they also make a wonderful addition to pasta, wraps, salads, and so many other meals. Feel free to get creative!

Happenings From Our Family of 9

Rollerblading on the dock is something that my kids find so fun.  They go around and around till I get dizzy!  They got the skates for Christmas last year and they have counted the number of times they have fallen.  I think one of them said 24 times and 14 of those was on Christmas Day!  I wish I had their energy and flexibility!   As you can see dad is keeping a close eye on them.  I think they were making him nervous!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
