- Today I'm sharing how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker and use the leftovers for more delicious meals! You can cook a whole chicken and have a week's worth of meals if you want! This whole chicken recipe for the crockpot or slow cooker is SO easy and takes minutes to prepare. I hope you enjoy the recipes!
Mediterranean Whole Chicken in the Slow Cooker Recipe
- 1/2 white onion, sliced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed and chopped
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3 - 4 lb chicken (thawed if previously frozen) with giblets removed
In the bowl of a slow cooker, add the white onion, set aside. Prepare the rub for the chicken by adding the thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry on all sides. With chicken breast side up, rub half the salt mixture all over the skin of the chicken. Place the chicken breast side down in the slow cooker on top of the onions. Rub the remaining salt mixture onto the back of the chicken. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Ensure chicken is cooked to 165 degrees F. Meat should fall off the bone and juices should run clear. Enjoy the chicken and save the bones for stock!
Salsa Chicken Skillet Recipe

- optional additions: 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, juice from 1/2 a lime
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ghee, bell peppers, onion, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir to coat. Cook for 7-9 minutes or until onions are translucent and peppers are tender. Add the chicken and salsa, stir. Allow chicken to warm through and cook for 3 minutes. Add the baby spinach, cook another 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in optional additions (black beans, lime juice). Serve over brown rice, white rice, cauliflower rice, or greens. Enjoy!

I've made chicken broth many times, but never in my slow cooker. I'll bet that the flavor is even better that way. I'll give it a try!
The chicken is delicious.
I just love your recipes especially when you connect them to wellness. If you do additional vlogs, I like when you address topics like depression, thyroid, etc. I just turned 60 and I want to make the rest of my years the best of my years. Would love to see healthy aging, exercise options, menopause addressed. Thank you for all you do! Your enthusiasm for healthy living is contagious! 😊
Woohoo! So glad you're enjoying the recipes Diane! Thank you for the feedback! I'll DEFINITELY make sure I cover those topics soon!
so happy i found your channel!! love the recipes!!
So glad you're enjoying the recipes Amber!
Love the lemon zest idea. I love rosemary with lemon and orange too. Your slow cooker method is great. I usually put stuff under the skin too.
Great idea!!
Would love extra vlogs as a member!!!
Yay!! Thank you for the feedback! :)
Love your videos! Could you cover prediabetes? I was diagnosed in my 30’s. I have been eating lower carb and trying to exercise regularly. My BMI has always been around 21. My issue is high fasting morning glucose. I need some good night time snack suggestions. I noticed if I try the intermittent fasting my glucose goes even higher. I’ve found that 5 small meals a day work best for me.
Thanks for another great video! Going to the store today and am inspired to give these ideas a try.
Hope you enjoy!
Extra vlogs would be nice & I always like to see new recipes.
Thanks Kandie!
I would like an extra recipe
Jordan? I run a Facebook Group called "Healthy for Life." I cook for that Group, and I share your videos to it as well. People are interested in other Life Experiences, it completes the whole experience. Not everything we do in life is cut and dried. Your recipes are great, but take a few pictures, and a few small videos of what you're encountering out there also? I do, and it makes a difference. The successful Channels out there mix it up a little? For instance, I took an image of Turkey's at a Supermarket, which were only $16.99, when others around the country are paying $90.00 for the same size, and quality?
o qué decepción! pensaba que eras vegana, cuando el video del tempeh en el que hablabas de comida sin crueldad, veo que no te importa comer comida con crueldad
