On a hot summer day when cooking was the last thing I wanted to do, my Herbie Slow Cooker Chicken recipe came to the rescue. While my husband enjoyed a motorcycle ride and I tended to our garden, we both knew a no-fuss, delicious dinner would be ready with no hassle. This easy, quick-prep dish, bursting with the flavors of our special Herbie spice blend, is perfect whether you’re looking for a healthy, slow cooker meal or an easy weeknight dinner.
Before heading outside, I easily prepped our dinner—a delicious Herbie Slow Cooker Chicken with Tomatoes, Peppers, and Capers, with wholesome ingredients. Seasoned perfectly with allergy-friendly Herbie spice blend, each herb—oregano, sage, basil, and marjoram—brings its own set of health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Herbie adds a burst of flavor to chicken, fish, or vegetables, and is ideal for anyone looking to maintain a healthy diet.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the magic of slow cooking. I tossed boneless chicken thighs with onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, capers, and a bit of Herbie. Everything went into the slow cooker, and I set it to cook on high. It was almost done in just over three hours, so I turned it down and cooked it for another hour on low.
When I put the ingredients in the slow cooker, I was concerned there wasn’t enough liquid. Fortunately, I refrained from adding any because there was plenty to make the chicken perfectly moist and tender.
After my husband returned and had a chance to relax, he whipped up a quick green salad. He dressed it with a Dilliscious-Yogurt Dressing, using my Dilliscious spice blend that makes a fast, easy dip or dressing by just stirring a spoonful into sour cream or yogurt. I usually use goat yogurt.
While Herbie works wonders for this recipe, feel free to use any herbs you prefer. Cooking should be flexible and fun, and I encourage you to experiment with flavors that you love.
This meal proved once again that with a little prep and the right ingredients, you can serve up a stress-free, delicious dinner that’s ready the moment you are. So, whether you’re gardening, riding, or just relaxing, why not let your slow cooker do the work?
