Serving Recommendation

This meal is so versatile and you can easily serve it lots of different ways.

  • Serve it with Rice – We recently had it with rice and it was amazing. We do this for lots of meals and it helps put together a quick meal. Shredded Creamy Italian Chicken over Rice is my favorite.
  • Make Chicken Sliders – The chicken is also really tasty on rolls or buns. We love to make sandwiches when we are on the go or need something fast.
  • Add some vegetables – We love to have a side of vegetables when making this Italian chicken. Steam Broccoli or Roasted Asparagus is our go-to vegetable.

    Wow! Only 3 ingredients! Don’t you have to add water or broth during the 6 hours?
    Amazing to me to try with my new crock pot. Maybe I have a different kind of crock pot.

      No you don’t have to add anything. The chicken releases a lot of liquid.
