As bummed as I am about the fact that summer is basically over, I'm so pumped about all the warm autumn meals headed my way. I felt like a kid at Christmas when I spotted a butternut squash at the grocery store the other day, and visions of spiced, roasted veggies and rich, luxurious soups and stews have been dancing in my head ever since.
But cozy chicken dinners have to be what I'm most excited to cook, especially ones that I can toss in a slow-cooker before I start my workday and dig into as soon as I wrap things up. Only thing is, there are a daunting number of slow-cooker chicken recipes out there, more than I (or anyone) can realistically cook in one season. So, I narrowed them down to a list of must-eats. These 20 dishes are among the most delicious-looking spins on slow-cooker chicken that the internet has to offer. Add them to your fall food bucket list, and get excited for some seriously easy, delicious dinners.
