Ingredients
To whip up this scrumptious Slow Cooker Crockpot Chicken, you’ll need:

- 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)
- Optional: 1 cup of mixed bell peppers, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Note: You can always tweak the ingredients to suit your taste preferences!
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Chicken
Start with fresh, thawed chicken. Place your boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker. This allows the meat to absorb all the juicy flavors.
Step 2: Season Generously
Sprinkle the Kickin’ chicken seasoning bomb liberally over the chicken. This flavorful seasoning is what makes this easy slow cooker chicken stand out, offering a spicy kick that will get everyone’s taste buds dancing!
Step 3: Add the Veggies
Layer the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced tomatoes over the seasoned chicken. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some mixed bell peppers for a colorful and nutritious boost.
Step 4: Pour in the Broth
Gently pour in the chicken broth to ensure that your chicken cooks up tender and juicy. Make sure it covers the bottom, helping the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 5: Cook on Low
Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The longer you let it cook, the more tender and infused with flavor your chicken will become.
Step 6: Shred and Serve
Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir everything together. Serve it up in your favorite way—on a bed of rice, in taco shells, or even as a topping for baked potatoes!
Tips & Variations
- Spice Level: Feel free to adjust the amount of Kickin’ seasoning according to your spice preference.
- Make it a Meal: Add black beans or corn in the last hour of cooking for a filling one-pot meal.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month!
