Crockpot Garlic Butter Chicken

This all-in-one crockpot garlic butter chicken melts in your mouth (thanks, butter!) and is so simple to make. Not only does the make fall apart tender garlic chicken, it includes veggies making it a complete meal.

Chicken with Garlic Sauce

Let the butter do the work on this easy dinner. Mix butter, garlic, and a few spices then you will have a tantalizing dinner that’s not only good but impressive enough to serve guests (even the in-laws!).

I always love a recipe where you can put everything into the slow cooker at once and not think about it again until it’s time to serve dinner; this recipe is one of those!

Garlic butter chicken takes only 10 minutes to prep and you will be all set! You will end up with juicy, tender chicken in a delicious, garlic butter sauce that will make you want to lick your plate.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Potatoes

Garlic butter chicken and potatoes is an easy dinner recipe to whip up any night of the week. All you have to do is mix melted butter with a few common spices, add chicken, layer veggies and drizzle the delectable butter sauce over everything. This is a true fix-it-and-forget-it meal that will only take minutes to prep. The crockpot does all the hard work!

1. Mix melted butter with garlic and spices.

2. Place chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour 1/3 of the butter mixture over the chicken breasts.

3. Layer potatoes and veggies on top of the chicken, making sure to place the potatoes spread apart so they have room to cook. You don’t want raw potatoes at dinnertime.

4. Pour the remaining butter mixture over veggies and potatoes.

5. Add chicken broth over everything.

6. Cook for 3 – 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead?

Yes. If your family prefers dark meat, you can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts in this recipe. The thighs will need a little less time to cook, so check them at 3 hours on high or 5 hours on low. Garlic butter chicken thighs are just as delicious as the chicken breasts!

Tips for Making Crockpot Garlic Butter Chicken

  • Make sure to cut your potatoes in quarters. Since potatoes take longer to cook you want to make sure to quarter them, allowing them to cook in the same amount of time as the chicken and carrots.
  • You can swap the carrots or potatoes for any veggies that your family likes. Another couple of good vegetables that work well with the garlic butter sauce are green beans or broccoli.
  • Know your slow cooker. Every slow cooker is different and cooks differently. If this is your first time making this, you should start checking on the chicken early. No one wants to gnaw on dry chicken. 

With all the amazing Crockpot chicken recipes out there, it can be hard to choose which one to make for dinner. This garlic butter chicken is a winner; that’s for sure! The chicken is so tender it will fall apart with just a little touch and the garlic butter sauce is absolutely delicious.

So there you have it! A delicious and easy, garlic butter chicken recipe that can be made in the crockpot. Whether you are short on time or want to let your slow cooker do all the work, this recipe is a winner for any family dinner.

Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple

Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple

Pineapple Chicken in the Crock Pot

This yummy meal comes together into an easy family meal with just 5 ingredients! Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple is sweet with a bit of kick because of the BBQ Sauce.

Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple

Pineapple BBQ Chicken Crock Pot

I love this recipe because it really takes 5 minutes to put everything in the slow cooker. The BBQ sauce adds so much flavor to the chicken and keeps it moist. You only have to cut an onion and bell pepper and dump the rest in to make a homemade easy dinner. Another simple crock pot chicken with pineapple recipe is Sweet Chili Chicken that has a sweet chili sauce instead of BBQ sauce.

I’ll let you in on a secret. If you don’t have any onions or peppers you can still make this! I love to add vegetables to my meals but you can make this without the onions and peppers and it’s still delicious.

Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple is a weekly staple in my house because my kids and husband love to gobble it up. However, I think it really shines in the summer when you are looking for a healthy, light meal. The pineapple brings a fresh flavor and the BBQ sauce adds a unique tang and balance to the meal.

Ingredients for Pineapple Chicken in a Crockpot

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • (1) 18 oz Bottle BBQ Sauce
  • 1 Can of Pineapple Tidbits
  • Bell Pepper
  • Yellow Onion

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken with Pineapple

Step 1. Dice onion and bell pepper.

Step 2. Pour onions, bell pepper, pineapple and entire bbq sauce bottle into slow cooker.

Step 3. Place chicken breasts into slow cooker on top of everything. Stir to combine and coat chicken.

Step 4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2- 2 1/2 hours. Turn halfway if possible.

Step 5. Serve over rice or lettuce cups.

What Should I Serve with Pineapple Chicken?

I love to serve my Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken over white or brown rice! I always use my rice maker to cook the rice at the same time that way dinner is completey done when I walk in the door.

Another great option is to make these into lettuce cups. You can use bibb lettuce, iceburg lettuce or romaine. Add the pineapple chicken directly into the lettuce cup and serve for a low-carb dinner option.

Since my family loves pineapple I try to make lots of different versions of pineapple chicken recipes. Chick-fil-A Polynesian Chicken is another easy chicken recipe with pineapple and the decilious Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce.

Can I Use Real Pineapple for Pineapple Chicken?

If you prefer to use real pineapple instead of canned pineapple that will work for this recipe. Plus you can use the pineapple to serve the chicken which was a real hit in our house with the kids.

However, real pineapple has less juice than the canned pineapple so you will want to add 1/2 cup of pineapple juice or another liquid to keep the chicken for drying out.

tips &

Keep the chicken breasts whole. I have found that when you dice the chicken before cooking it dries out quicker. Cut the chicken into cubes if you prefer once it is finished cooking.

Crock Pot Freezer Meal

This is a perfect freezer meal! Add everything to the freezer bag and label it with the date. When you are ready to add it to the menu pull the bag out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. Add the contents of the freezer bag into the Crock Pot and cook for 3-4 hours.
