Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Goddess Chicken with Artichokes & Sundried Tomatoes

CrockPot Artichoke Chicken was one of the first recipes I made during my Year of WW-Friendly Slow Cooking Challenge back in 2013, and it was an instant hit. Since then, it’s continued to be a favorite for its ease and flavor.

And now, I’ve simplified it even further with this 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Goddess Chicken. Tender chicken, tangy artichokes, and savory sun-dried tomatoes all come together in a creamy tahini-lemon sauce from Annie’s Light Goddess Dressing (affiliate link). It’s ridiculously easy to make and just as delicious—maybe even more so than the original!

It’s no surprise that Stephanie, who tried this version, said:

Ingredients

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts – a lean protein option with a mild flavor. They cook beautifully in the slow cooker, becoming moist and tender. You can also use chicken thighs for richer flavor.

Canned Artichoke Hearts – tender and earthy, they add both flavor and fiber. Frozen or jarred marinated artichokes work too.

Sun-Dried Tomatoes – sweet, tangy, and full of umami. For fewer WW Points, use the kind not packed in oil.

Annie’s Light Goddess Dressing (affiliate link) – creamy, tangy, and lower in calories than the original. If you can’t find it, use light creamy Italian or Caesar, or make your own with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.

Instructions

Step 1: Load the CrockPot with chicken, sun dried tomatoes, drained artichoke hearts and drizzle on the dressing.

Step 2: Cook on Low until the chicken is tender, about 4 to 6 hours.

Recipe Notes

I started by turning an oven-based recipe into one for the slow cooker.

Then to save a ton of calories and WW Points, I substituted Annie’s Light Goddess Dressing, which has 50% less fat and 50% less calories than their regular Goddess Dressing. (If you can’t find Annie’s Light Goddess where you live, you might try another brand or substitute a light creamy Italian or Caesar dressing you like.)

Moist, tender and packed with flavor, everyone loved this easy dinner.

Serving Suggestions

To round out the meal, serve with low calorie mashed potatoes, couscous, white or brown rice or cauliflower rice (if you are watching your carbs) and your favorite green vegetable or a simple green salad.
