6-Ingredient Peach Garlic Chicken Recipe Is a Fix It & Forget It Favorite Chicken Recipes Slow Cooker Dinner

Being a little leery of putting chicken in a slow cooker, I wasn't sure about this slow-cooker recipe, though it sounded delicious. I've never had a bad experience cooking chicken this way, I've just don't do it often. This slow-cooked chicken recipe with a garlicy sweet peach glaze has changed my mind.

Because there's just two of us, I cut the easy recipe in half and cooked it on low for four hours. Crispy chicken skin is a must for us, so I popped it under the broiler for a couple minutes when it was done cooking to crisp it up. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
