Do you need an easy and tasty recipe for a whole chicken? This is a great choice! A whole chicken can easily feed a typical family for two or even three days, ensuring you'll definitely have leftovers. This recipe can also work for a small party or other gathering.
You won't need a lot of ingredients to make this recipe work. Tomatoes, onions, green peppers, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes are all you'll need to turn chicken into a delicious dinner. All of these ingredients are easy to acquire; you may already have the seasonings in your kitchen!
Once you've added all of the ingredients to your slow cooker, cook for six to eight hours. This long cooking time will allow the chicken to become extra tender. Tenderizing meat properly is one of the many benefits a slow cooker offers.
