If you listen to cartoon catchphrases, everything "tastes like chicken." However, if you actually eat chicken, then you know that its flavor is irreplaceable and it's absolutely delicious. That's why chicken is such a popular dinner ingredient.

Historically, making good chicken would involve frying stuff over a stove or doing similar work. Today, though, most of us are working too much to spend time making a classic stuffed cornish hen.

Thankfully, crock pots allow you to drop a bunch of ingredients in and get a great dinner 10 hours later. If you're pressed for time, but love eating finger lickin' chicken, then these easy chicken crock pot recipes need to go in your personal recipe book.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Italian Chicken and Potatoes is zesty, savory, and features chicken that literally falls off the bone. If you're looking for a satisfying meal in a pot, trying this recipe out will never fail.

Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot

Most of the easy chicken crock pot recipes you'll find on the net involve one part of the bird. But, what if you have guests? Or, what if you want leftovers? Or enjoy both the wings and chicken breast recipes you see? Well, there are some pretty darn amazing solutions to this problem.

According to hundreds of people on the net, this recipe for Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot is the best whole chicken recipe out there for people who love to browse slow cooker recipes. Better still, it's easy as pie to do — and is fairly low-cost, too.

Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo

While we're on the subject of comfort food, let's talk about this recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo. It's got that creamy, buttery goodness that melts in your mouth, just like a good alfredo pasta should. It also has perfectly al dente pasta involved, which provides an amazing texture.

Simply put, you haven't experienced chicken alfredo until you've had it made in a crock pot. Yummy!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings

People from the South will tell you that there's no comfort food quite as delicious as a nice, heaping bowl of chicken and dumplings. It's warm, melty, and just has that old-fashioned "stick to your ribs" feeling that keeps you satisfied and warm on cold winter nights.

I find it a travesty that many of my fellow Jersey folk have never had a good bowl of chicken and dumplings. That's why this recipe for Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings is such a must-try. It brings down-home cooking to a new audience, and oh my goodness, is it amazing!

Slow Cooker Paella

Paella, according to more traditional recipes, is a pretty heavily involved dish to make. It involves a lot of cooking over low heat, lots of seasonings, prep time, and of course, drinking with friends while you make it. Or, perhaps that's just been my experience with Portuguese and Spanish friends.

Either way, it's hard to get a good paella recipe that provides authentic flavor and plenty of meat. That's why this Slow Cooker Paella is such a great recipe to try. Easy chicken crock pot recipes featuring paella do exist — and this one is one of the best.

Chicken, Sausage, and White Bean Chili

Chili is one of those things that naturally comes up in easy crock pot recipes. The reason why is because crock pots use the same "low and slow" tenderizing cooking process like original chili recipes used to make their meat tender and flavorful.

There are many easy slow cooker recipes out there that involve chili. Few, though, have the awesome texture and flavor of this Chicken, Sausage, and White Bean Chili. Great crock Pot soup recipes just got a little bit easier...
