Zesty Italian Dressing Chicken is a yummy recipe you can put in the crock pot hours earlier then make into a fast and delicious meal!
Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Dressing Chicken
This Italian Dressing Chicken is one of those great recipes you can make up in a flash. While it cooks the flavors all come together and make the chicken taste amazing! When it is ready the chicken easily shreds up, you add a couple of ingredients, and you have a zesty creamy chicken sauce that you can eat over noodles or rice. Not only was my husband crazy about this, my kids love it too! You can’t beat a slow cooked meal that is easy, delicious, and family friendly! I like to put it in the crock pot before work or church. There is nothing better than walking into the house and smelling the Italian seasoning and creamy, chicken aroma wafting through air.
What to Serve on the Side
If you’re looking for a great way to round out this delicious slow cooker meal, there are several options. Generally with a chicken and rice or chicken and pasta dish (this tastes great over either) something simple like steamed or roasted broccoli is great. Something about this dish makes me want green veggies. Try our Oven Roasted Green Beans to mix things up. Asparagus makes an excellent complement to this meal as well. Or go for a little bit of everything with our Oven Roasted Vegetables.
