No Fuss Chicken Dinner

Are you looking for an easy crock pot chicken dinner recipe? This No Fuss Chicken Dinner is perfect for busy days and will be loved by the whole family!

I have been meaning to make my friend Jent at The Farmwife Feeds Golden Mushroom Chicken and when I saw this recipe from the Gooseberry Patch Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites Cookbook I noticed it was very similar and knew it would be a hit.

It’s no secret I love my crock pot, its perfect for our busy lifestyle. And I absolutely love all-in-one recipes like this one! I served it with a side salad and rolls but it really is a complete meal on its own. When I am making this and have a little extra time I will take the chicken out and put in a 9×13 pan and cook it for 10 or so minutes at 450 degrees just to crisp up the skin. I will then pop it back in the slow cooker until the potatoes and carrots are done.

No Fuss Chicken Dinner

The recipe called for 4-6 chicken breasts but we love chicken legs (kids favorite) so I substituted them, you can use your families favorite, breast, thigh or leg. I usually buy chicken legs when they are on sale and freeze them, so we almost always have some on hand. I started with frozen chicken legs and this recipe did take longer than I expected. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is done.
