Slow Cooker Smothered Chicken Drumsticks

My kids were on school vacation this past week and we spent the beginning of the week away at a hotel.

Unfortunately, I never quite snapped back into my routine and I didn’t even go to the grocery store until we’d been home for days.

Usually when the weather starts turning nice, last minute dinners mean grilling out but today it was cold, damp and rainy.

I wandered around the grocery store kind of in a daze (been there?) and finally grabbed some chicken drumsticks and figured I could make something easy in the crock-pot.

My 5 year old wanted mushrooms, so they came home with us as did some canned green beans (she’s also a fan suddenly).

I had an idea to make something with tomatoes and thus the recipe for Crock-Pot Smothered Chicken Drumsticks was born.

If you wanted to make this with breasts or thighs, I think it would be just as good. Just remember you may need to adjust cooking times for larger pieces of chicken.

Try it out and see what you think!


Products Needed:

  • 6 Quart Or Larger Slow Cooker
  • Can Opener
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups And Spoons

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Other Cuts Of Chicken?

This recipe works best with dark meat chicken. So chicken thighs or whole leg quarters would also work great in this recipe.

Can I Use Fresh Green Beans Instead Of Canned?

Yes you can. The beans will come out crispier when using fresh which some folks prefer. You can also use frozen green beans as well.
