I love an easy crockpot and slow cooker recipe. There’s nothing as wonderful as throwing a few ingredients in the pot, turning it on, and walking away for it to cook while you get along with your day. It’s the ultimate easy weeknight meal.
I have to tell you, my crockpot doesn’t get as much love during the spring and summer months as it does during the fall and winter. When I think about it, it’s not that I don’t make and eat similar foods, but my cooking methods seem to change with the seasons as well.
We eat chicken year round in my household, so I could be making it in my crockpot year round too, right? As I was thinking about this idea, I started looking around for some chicken recipes I can make it my crockpot that aren’t just soups, stews, and chilis, but other entrees as well.
As I went searching, I realized just how many great dishes are out there that I could be making that are outside the realm of warm and cozy fall dishes.
I’ve rounded up 25 gluten and dairy-free chicken crockpot meals that are perfect for prepping ahead to get dinner to the table when you’re ready to eat it!
Inside this roundup, yes, you’ll find those chili and soup recipes, but you’ll also find a ton of entrees that are good in the fall months just as much as they are in the spring and summer.
As you make your way through this list, I hope you find something that will help you get dinner to the table even easier this week – and allow you to stick with your gluten and dairy-free diet.
