– For a zestier twist, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the Italian dressing and brown sugar mixture.
– If you enjoy a little heat, feel free to sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
– Though skinless chicken breasts are recommended for a leaner option, this recipe can also be made with skin-on chicken thighs for added juiciness.
– Since slow cookers can vary in heat intensity, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Always ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
– Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container. They make for a delightful addition to salads, sandwiches, or even a quick chicken shred for tacos.
This dish is a testament to the fact that delicious, home-cooked meals don’t need to be complicated or time-consuming. With the slow cooker doing the heavy lifting, you’ll have more time to enjoy the evening, perhaps even with a glass of your favorite Italian wine.
Enjoy!
