There’s nothing better than a slow cooker recipe that practically cooks itself and still tastes like it came from a restaurant. This Crock Pot Sweet Garlic Chicken delivers unbelievably tender chicken smothered in a glossy, sweet-savory garlic glaze that clings to every bite. The chicken becomes so soft it practically falls apart, making it perfect for spooning over rice, noodles, or even a fluffy baked potato.
The magic here happens in two simple stages: slow cooking the chicken until juicy and tender, then briefly reducing the sauce into a thick, sticky glaze that takes this dish to the next level. It’s an ideal recipe for busy weeknights, meal prep, or when you want comfort food without standing over the stove.
