Sweet, tangy & citrusy this easy & delicious 4 ingredient recipe for Crock-Pot Tangy Catalina Chicken is to die for! Serve over rice or noodles for dinner!

Slow Cooker Tangy Catalina Chicken
I love simple recipes that have just a few ingredients and this recipe is now one of my favorites. You won’t beleive that there is only 4 ingredients because the flavors are not simple. I love recipes that make it look like I slaved over a hot stove making some intricate dish but I know (and you know) that sometimes simple dinners are the best.
This recipe really is simple, the chicken breasts are cooked by themselves in the slow cooker until no longer pink inside, then a few ingredients (Catalina salad dressing, orange marmalade, and a packet of onion soup mix) are mixed together and poured over the chicken and then cooked for a little bit longer.
If you are watching your sugar intake or feel that you may want it to be a little less sweet, feel free to use sugar free or reduced sugar marmalade.
I choose to cook this dish in my new casserole slow cooker but a regular 5 or 6 quart slow cooker will work just as well.
Once done serve the chicken over cooked egg noodles or rice.
Add a side vegetable or salad and you have dinner on the table!
And THAT is what it is all about!
This is a recipe I will make again and again.

Notes
Nutrition

What if you added dice pineapple and some green peppers
We have never tried adding green peppers and pineapple but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! If you give it a try Norm, let us know how it turns out!
What about just throwing it all in the crock pot together and letting cook four to six hours.
You could try it Ruby!
did you try it this way?
I have not tried it this way.
I’m going to try it with the chicken cut, peppers, pineapple and sauce ingredients all at the beginning. Stay tuned.
Cannot wait to hear how it turns out for you Nina!
