After lazy chicken you probably didn’t think I’d find something even easier and lazier did you? Well, I scoured the internet and my slow cooker cookbooks over the weekend and I found one! This recipe is called easy chicken and it really was easy. All you need is 4 chicken breast halves (boneless, skinless of course), a packet of italian dressing mix, and a cup of water. Yup that is it! So what do you do? Here is the recipe:

Easy Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet of Italian Dressing Mix (found on salad dressing aisle)
1 cup of warm water or chicken broth

Line the slow cooker/crockpot with disposable liner. Put chicken on the bottom of the slow cooker. I used a mallet (is that the right word?) and gently beat them until they flattened out a bit. Next, sprinkle chicken with the Italian dressing mix. Lastly, pour cup of water/chicken broth over chicken. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. The ideal crockpot size is 4 quart so that the crockpot is 2/3 the way full. I have a 6 quart so I just added more water so the chicken wouldn’t dry out. Adding the water diluted the Italian flavor but it kept the chicken moist so I can’t complain. Next time I will just double the entire recipe. The recipe makes 4 servings.

Overall, the meal was good. I served it with a salad and corn. You could probably serve it over brown rice as well. I opted for cooking on 7 hours since I didn’t fill the crockpot 2/3 the way full and everything turned out fine. As previously reported the Italian seasoning was diluted so next time I’ll just double everything and it should turn out fine. I didn’t calculate Weight Watcher points but I would imagine it would be one point per ounce of chicken.
