Easy 2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Recipe

Everyone will love this super easy slow cooker Italian chicken. With just 2 ingredients, it is perfect when you are short of time or feeling incredibly lazy but still need to get dinner on the table.

All you need are frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce. (If you are concerned about cooking from frozen, you can always fully defrost your chicken before starting this recipe.)

I sometimes add a little more garlic powder, splash of red wine and extra teaspoon or two of dried Italian seasoning, or oregano, to jazz things up a bit.

This is one of my favorite, super-easy, busy day go-to meals.

But since Rod’s not a huge red sauce fan, I don’t make it as often as I might. He prefers this creamy 3-Ingredient version made with Italian dressing and light cream cheese.
