Let’s get started!
How to Make Slow Cooker Italian Chicken (Infused)
Ingredients:
- 3-4 chicken breasts (about 1-1½ pounds).
- 1 tsp garlic powder.
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning.
- ½ tsp salt.
- ½ tsp pepper.
- 1 cup Italian dressing.
- ¼ cup cannabis-infused olive oil.
Tools:
- Slow cooker (4-6 quart capacity).
- Cutting board and sharp knife.
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Small mixing bowl.
- Wooden spoon.
- Non-stick cooking spray.
Instructions:
1. Get that pot slick: Hit the inside of your slow cooker with some non-stick spray, you know, so stuff don’t stick.
2. Flavor up the chicken: Grab a little bowl, throw in some garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix it up, then rub that spice mix all over your chicken, both sides. Now, plop the chicken in the slow cooker.
3. Drizzle the good stuff: Pour that Italian dressing and your special cannabis olive oil right on top of the chicken.
4. Cook it low and slow: Put the lid on and cook it on low for like, 6 or 7 hours. Or, if you’re in a hurry, crank it up to high for 3 or 4 hours.
5. Serve it up, or shred it: If you want shredded chicken, pull it out when it’s done and use two forks to shred it up real good. Then, toss it back in the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce. Boom, dinner’s ready.
Tips For Better Slow Cooker Italian Chicken
Want to take your Cannabis slow cooker italian chicken to the next level? Here are some pro tips to help you get better and more consistent results every time:
- Spice it Right: Don’t just dump stuff in. Think layers, ya know? Hit it with some garlic powder, oregano, maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick. Let it sit, let the flavors get cozy.
- Sear the Chicken: Yeah, I know, slow cooker, but trust me. Quick sear in a hot pan? That’s where the magic starts. Gets that nice brown, seals in the juice.
- Don’t Drown It: Too much liquid, and you’re making soup, not chicken. Just enough to keep it moist, you feel me?
- Low and Slow, Man: Ain’t no rush. Let that thing cook on low, hours if you can. That’s how it gets tender, falling-apart good.
- Finish with a Flourish: Before serving, toss in some fresh basil, maybe a squeeze of lemon. Brightens it up, makes it sing.

Serving Suggestions
1. You can never go wrong with a bed of buttery pasta, creamy polenta, or even some mashed potatoes to soak up all that flavorful sauce.
2. Pair it with a simple arugula salad tossed in lemon vinaigrette or some roasted veggies for a fresh contrast.
3. Pour yourself a glass of Chianti, Pinot Grigio, or even a light Rosé. They’ll complement the Italian herbs beautifully.
