Slow Cooker Bruschetta Chicken

Get dinner on the table for your family with this easy recipe for slow cooker bruschetta chicken! I received a slow cooker to review, all opinions are my own.

Having a rough week at work? A busy week in general?

Not sure if you’ll get the chance to get a warm meal on the table because you are just so swamped?

Slow Cooker. Problems solved.

I have talked many, many times about how my slow cooker is my best friend. So when Hamilton Beach asked if I wanted to participate in their campaign promoting slow cooker meals, I jumped.

I love it by the way.  It’s light weight in comparison to other slow cookers I’ve had. And it has two really awesome features that you won’t see everyday (on other slow cookers) – sturdy wire clips that snaps the lid in place and a thermometer probe that takes the temperature as your food cooks.  Take your slow cooker to-go and never over cook your meat again!

I’m trying very hard to contain my excitement.  But these two things really make this slow cooker stand apart from the rest of the pack.

This recipe for slow cooker bruschetta chicken is a great example of why – I would have set my old slow cookers to low for 4-6 hours and overcooked the chicken.  Thanks to the thermometer, I was able to get to the cooked (and safe) temperature in only 2 and a half hours on low. 

Perfectly cooked chicken is something I struggle with because I’m always tempted to over cook it.

I created an easy recipe to go along with this slow cooker because chances are, if you are utilizing a slow cooker to save time, you would also like to save time when grocery shopping.  This recipe requires a minimum amount of work, thanks to some canned tomatoes.
