The slow cooker makes dinner so easy. Just set it and forget it. If you’re tired of your recipes, this list of slow cooker chicken recipes will give you some new ideas.
For more, check out all of our recipes.
I love using our slow cooker. It makes my life so much easier. You just dump all your ingredients in the slow cooker, ignore it for four to eight hours, and dinner is done.
We eat a lot of chicken, so when someone asked if I had any slow cooker chicken recipes, I wanted to send them a link to all of them.
Except, I was shocked to find out that I never collected just the chicken recipes in a post.
So, here it is. So next time someone asks me if I have any slow cooker chicken recipes, I’ll show them this link instead of a ton of individual links.

Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki
I love making chicken teriyaki in the slow cooker. It’s so unbelievably easy and delicious. And tastes so much better than the mall take out food that’s usually everyone’s go to teriyaki.
You make your own three ingredient teriyaki sauce to coat the chicken while it cooks, then shred the chicken, and serve it over rice.
You do have to cook the rice separately in a rice cooker, not the slow cooker, but it’s worth it.
Slow Cooker Chicken Soup
Chicken soup is really easy to make in the slow cooker. You add all the ingredients, including the chicken and the broth, and let them cook together.
If you’re planning on your family eating it all in one serving, you can also add the noodles into the slow cooker and cook them that way.
However, you may want to boil them separately and then add them to each bowl if you’re planning on having leftovers because the noodles will absorb all of the broth as it sits in the slow cooker.
Slow Cooker Ginger Marmalade Chicken
My friend gave me the slow cooker ginger marmalade chicken recipe a few years ago, and we were making it on repeat for the months after because it’s so good and so easy.
Chicken and a jar of marmalade, plus some seasoning (and, of course, ginger) cook together in the slow cooker to create a tangy and sweet chicken dinner.
You do have to make rice separately to serve with this. We make ours in the rice cooker to make it easier.
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup With Chicken
Even if you don’t like split pea soup, I’m pretty sure this slow cooker split pea soup with chicken will change your mind — partially because it’s easy and partially because it’s delicious.
Bagged green peas, broth, vegetables, and chicken are all cooked together in the slow cooker to make this really light but hardy soup.
Slow Cooker Chicken Curry
This Japanese chicken curry recipe is our most popular slow cooker recipe. And it’s really easy to see why.
Large chunks of onion, carrots, potatoes, and chicken simmer together in a boxed curry sauce to make a really simple and delicious dinner.
You’ll need to make rice separably to serve this over, but if you make that in a rice cooker, it still keeps this meal really simple.
Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
If you’re making chicken drumsticks for a crowd, the easiest way to do it is this slow cooker barbecue chicken drumsticks recipe.
You lay the entire package of chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker, cover them with your favorite bottled barbecue sauce and seasoning, and set it. The drumsticks all cook evenly so you can feed your whole family at the same time, while freeing up your stove to make a side dish to go with them.
Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl
Burrito bowls are really popular, but also really expensive — especially if you’re serving a family — so we make slow cooker chicken burrito bowls at home.
It’s everything you would expect from a burrito bowl, but cooked together in a slow cooker and then served over rice. Does it look as pretty as the one you’re gonna get at your local restaurant? Maybe not. But it’s about a fifth of the price, so it’s worth it.
Slow Cooker Taco Soup
Ground chicken is used in this slow cooker taco soup recipe.
I wouldn’t use ground chicken if I was making it on the stove top because that doesn’t give the chicken enough time to absorb all of the flavors and so, the meal is a little bland.
But, when you’re making this taco soup in the slow cooker, the chicken has time to sit and marinate in the flavors, and it makes for a really delicious soup.
Slow Cooker Mushroom Soup Chicken
Slow cooker mushroom soup chicken is, perhaps, not the prettiest recipe because it does look like brownish-gray slop in a bowl. Believe me, I understand that.
But the recipe is so easy to make in your slow cooker and it tastes delicious. So avert your eyes when you make this the first time. It will be added to your rotation after that, regardless of its color.
