How to Make Whole Chicken in Slow cooker

First, chop up all the vegetables:

• Onion
• Carrots
• Garlic
• Potatoes

Second, season the chicken with a flavorful rub.

• Salt pepper
• Paprika
• Thyme
• garlic powder

Then, stuff the chicken with fresh herbs and aromatics:

• Rosemary
• Oregano
• Garlic
• Lemon

Pour chicken stock or bone broth (my personal favorite). Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 – 7 hours.

So easy.

Chicken Soup or Crispy Rotisserie style Chicken in Crockpot

1. A Hearty Chicken Soup

I love adding enough broth to cover the bottom of the chicken in order to make a hearty chicken soup recipe. Besides the tender and juicy chicken, you will also be able to enjoy the most flavorful and rich soup.

2. Crispy Rotisserie Style Chicken

On the other hand, if you prefer more like a rotisserie style, you don’t need to add any broth at all. Once the chicken is finished cooking in the crockpot. Carefully remove it and place it under the broiler for 5 minutes until the skin is slightly browned and crispy.

Let the chicken sit and cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

How to Serve Slow Cooker Chicken

1. A Hearty Bowl of Chicken and Rice

There are so many ways you can serve this healthy slow cooker chicken for dinner.

If you are looking for a paleo and Whole 30 compliant option, serve this chicken cauliflower rice and whole 30 approved gravy.

Otherwise, if there is no Whole30 compliance, serve it with jasmine or basmati rice. Crockpot chicken and white rice are like made for each other.

2. Chicken Noodle Soup Season

Besides rice, you can also make some egg noodles, or gluten free chickpea pasta to serve. Once the pasta is cooked, let it soak in the chicken broth for 5 – 10 minutes to soften. Then you have an easy and healthy Chicken Noodle Soup.

This healthy and easy crockpot chicken recipe makes the best complete dinner for the whole family. It is gluten free, dairy free, paleo and whole 30 compliant. Perfect for any day of the week or a holiday celebration.
