In a medium bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing and brown sugar until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 5
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
Step 6
If desired, simmer the leftover sauce over medium heat to thicken, then drizzle over the chicken before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
For a tangier flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice to the dressing mixture.
Add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Use skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option, or opt for skin-on chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
Adjust cooking time based on your slow cooker’s intensity and ensure chicken is fully cooked before serving.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for easy meal prep or use in salads, sandwiches, or tacos.
