Italian Chicken in the Crockpot!


I'm all about the crock pot!  Summer's here in Arizona are NOT meant for oven usage or grilling!  So while everyone else is happy outside grilling, all we'd have to do is throw the food on the sidewalk to cook it.  Sounds yummy right?  No, which is why the crock pot is such an easy thing!  It doesn't make the house hot like the oven, and you're not melting using the grill!  

This was an amazingly easy meal to make!  Even better was that my 3-year old tasted it!  How often does that happen?  


4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (I did use frozen breasts)
16 Ounce Bottle of Italian Dressing (I used low fat)
1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
Italian Seasoning
4-6 Potatoes scrubbed cut in half or wedges (you can peel if desired)
1/2 bag of mini carrots

Spray crock with Pam
Squirt a small amount of Italian dressing at bottom of crock-pot.
Place two chicken breasts in crock.
Pour some of the Italian dressing on the chicken.
Sprinkle half of cheese onto the chicken.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning onto the chicken.
Place next two chicken breasts into crock-pot, if possible not directly on top of the first breasts.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of chicken.
Pour carrots on top
Pour more of the Italian dressing on top of chicken and carrots.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning onto the chicken and carrots.
Place potatoes on top.
Pour the remaining Italian dressing on the potatoes.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning on the potatoes.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

I apologize now for the horrible plated photograph, this is what happens when the natives are restless.

  1. Yummy! I've made this a lot of times but always in the oven. Will definitely try in the crock pot next.

  3. Can you cook this longer than 8 hours? Like maybe 10?
