A great home-cooked meal with hardly any effort?

Yes, please! 

In this intermediary period between the end of the year holidays, everything can feel a bit static. Don’t let yourself get stuck in the lull and take charge of your time, making sure it is well spent! One of the best ways to manage your time better is to streamline cooking so that it is effective and minimal without sacrificing flavor. That way, you can use all the extra time to take care of yourself, whether it be a few minutes of meditation or reserving time for a quick workout, dedicating that extra time to other avenues can be very beneficial to most people! 

Here at Mealfit, we are dedicated to providing access to quick, easy, and healthy meals to fit into any lifestyle. One of the ways we do that is by sharing special recipes every week in our recipe catalogue. This week, we are sharing a recipe for tasty, juicy crockpot chicken as well as some helpful tips on how to make an ideal and easy weeknight dinner for the family, so be sure to stick around until the end of the article! 

 

Juicy Crockpot Chicken Weeknight Dinner

Tender and Juicy Crockpot Chicken

Savor the flavors of hearty chicken breast slow-cooked alongside garlic, paprika, and thyme. It is the perfect heart-healthy protein for a weeknight dinner! 

Prep Time: 10 minutes 

Cook Time:  6 hours

Total Time: 6 hours and 10 minutes 

Yield: 4 servings 

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 large chicken breasts 

Directions

  1. Begin by pouring the chicken broth into the slow cooker. 
  2. In a small bowl, combine the spices and mix well. 
  3. Rub the olive oil as well as the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, trying to cover as much surface area in an even layer as possible. Then, place the coated chicken breasts into the slow cooker with the chicken broth. 
  4. For the cooking, there are two options. If you want the chicken to be made sooner, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours. However, if you are not restricted by time and are hoping to achieve a more flavorful and moist result, cooking the chicken on a low setting for 4-6 hours will be best. Regardless of cooking preference, always be sure to check that the meat is cooked thoroughly and that the internal heat reaches at least 165 before serving.
  5. Serve alongside rice or vegetables and enjoy!
