My Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs Recipe is an easy and delicious way to feed your family a meal they’ll love!

We love Slow Cooker Chicken recipes. Some of our favorites include Easy Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings and Grandma’s Crockpot Chicken and Noodles.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN THIGHS

If you’re looking for an easy, delicious recipe your family will adore, look no further! Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs is so quick and easy to prepare, but it’s big on flavor. It will become a family favorite in no time!

CAN I USE CHICKEN BREASTS INSTEAD OF THIGHS?

Chicken thighs are really good used for this recipe, but you can always substitute chicken breasts if that is your preference.  We enjoy the variety of the dark meat as it has a slightly richer flavor.

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER CHICKEN THIGHS?

There’s a lot of flexibility with this recipe; you can serve a simple salad or vegetable, or you could go with Instant Pot Baked Potatoes or Cheesy Garlic Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes to round out the meal. Either way, it will be delicious!

WILL SLOW COOKER CHICKEN THIGHS FREEZE WELL?

Yes, Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs will freeze very well! You can prep everything beforehand as a freezer meal, but you can also easily freeze any leftovers. It’s the best of both worlds!

I hope your family will love this recipe as much as ours does. It’s become a regular on our meal plan rotation!

  • 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.

    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.
