This Easy Slow Cooker Italian Chicken has only 2 ingredients! So simple yet the chicken dish comes out so moist, tender and flavorful. Perfect for busy weeknights or when you feel the need for comfort food!

Since this week was a busy one I relied on my crockpot a few times and this recipe has to be the simplest one I’ve made yet – easier than the Taco Chicken.  Two ingredients! I am not counting the water, but even with that it is recipe with simple ingredients. Using a packaged Italian salad dressing mix makes it easy since all of the Italian seasonings are already in there.

So, if you are in need of  something to start in your crockpot before you leave in the morning this is the meal for you.  When you come home, shred the chicken and whip up some Mashed Potatoes and add corn or roasted green beans for another side.

I have to thank my sister-in-law, Linda for this one. She’s been trying a few of my crock pot recipes out with her family. Like me, she wants to get dinner on the table with the least amount of prep time, mess, and easy clean up. So when she shared this delicious recipe with me I knew I would be sharing it with you all.

Speaking of easy clean up – have you ever used a crock pot liner? Oh My Word! You must try them! Cleaning that slow cooker is even easier when you use them. Seriously!

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Italian Chicken

I feel strange even telling you it is a recipe when all you do is toss everything (you know, the 2 ingredients and water) in the slow cooker and turn it on.

  • chicken breasts (boneless, skinless chicken thighs work too)
  • Good Seasons Italian Dressing packets
  • water
  • slow cooker

How to make Italian Chicken in the Slow Cooker

Step 1

If you’re using the slow cooker liners, place it in your slow cooker. If not, spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Pour 4 cups of water into bottom of slow cooker and add the contents of two packets of Good Seasons Italian Dressing to the water and whisk together.

What other ways can you serve this chicken?

This is easy Italian Chicken recipe a favorite meal of ours not just because it’s delicious but so versatile. You can make the dish as I do with sides, or shred the chicken, let it cool, and then make chicken salad with it, toss in your garden green salad, and so many other recipes that call for cooked chicken. This dish is also delicious served over rice or egg noodles.

The whole family will love this delicious crock pot chicken meal!

    Good seasons is a miracle product! I grew up with their dressing and loving it on my sandwiches and salads. It has elevated chicken too! So tender and juicy and makes the perfect gravy for those fluffy mashed potatoes.
