Throw your favorite Italian ingredients in the slow cooker with your favorite cut of chicken for this easy and healthy slow cooker recipe.
Whole 30 is officially over. And yet here is another whole 30 recipe for you. I’m not going to continue on with whole 30 but the majority of my recipes are whole 30 compliant anyway. Not much has or will change with the posts here. This recipe is whole 30 and I made it paleo as well by using white sweet potatoes. You can use your preferred potatoes.
For the chicken use your preferred cut! I went with boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you can use legs, thighs, skin-on, skinless, etc. For the veggies – load it up with your favorites. Tomatoes, garlic, onion bell pepper, artichokes and olives sounded nice to me. Mushrooms, diced eggplant even asparagus would be good additions too.
Confession time – the main reason I did not continue on with whole 30 is…WINE. I don’t know about y’all but I don’t like to have an Italian meal without a nice glass of wine. Would you drink a glass of red or white with this meal?

If you make different variations of this I would love to hear what you use.
I’ve never heard of a white sweet potato. Do they taste the same as an orange sweet potato?
They’re a little less sweet than orange sweet potatoes and little milder in flavor. If you have a Sprouts or Trader Joe’s near you then they should definitely have them.
Is this a dish that could be frozen into smaller portions?
Absolutely! This makes a great freezer meal.
Would you eat this as is or would you serve it over something like rice??what do you suggest?
Personally I eat it as-is because it includes potatoes however over rice or cauliflower would be yummy!
could I add zucchini to this?
Absolutely! Zucchini would be an excellent addition. Enjoy!
Looks tasty.And healthy!
