This three-ingredient Italian slow cooker chicken is such a simple dish that it’s saved my day countless times. I first made it in my first tiny apartment when all I had was a frying pan and my mother’s old slow cooker. It’s loosely inspired by classic Italian flavors—spicy herbs, garlic, and a hint of Italian salad dressing—but with a handy twist for the busy week: the slow cooker does all the work. The result is tender, juicy chicken bursting with flavor that’s perfect with pasta, rice, or vegetables. It’s the ideal recipe when you’re juggling work, errands, and maybe some kids’ activities, but still want to put a home-cooked meal on the table.
This Italian chicken is incredibly versatile, perfect for busy weekdays. Serve it over cooked pasta (penne or rotini soak up the sauce especially well) with some Parmesan and garlic bread. For a lighter option, toss it with steamed broccoli, green beans, or a simple salad. It’s also delicious with rice or creamy mashed potatoes if you’re in the mood for something more substantial. Leftovers can easily be transformed into a quick sandwich the next day in a tortilla or on a toasted roll with a slice of provolone.
