Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Thighs

I can’t think of a more creative name. I adapted this from a Kraft Food recipe called “Chicken Bolognese” and while that’s still mostly appropriate, it sounded fancier than it really is. Which isn’t always a bad thing, but sometimes my head just like to call things what they are.

This was a busy week. Preparing for the end of a season in my life and also for a vacation coming up next week. Our LifeGroup wanted to spend time helping in anyway we could for the tornado victims in Moore- so I made use of our slow cooker to eat dinner before heading out to volunteer.

Enter the Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Thighs. Real talk…this was one of my favorites. Mainly because I was very hungry and it was delicious, but also because of it’s simplicity. Very few (inexpensive) ingredients and using the slow cooker liner bag meant fastest cleanup ever!
