Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Morengo

Chicken Marengo is such a simple (but feels fancy) dinner to enjoy for the whole family – and made in the slow cooker so it’s very hands off! This one-pot meal combines tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions to give the sauce a great flavor. White wine adds depth and a touch of acidity to this recipe, but chicken broth will also do the trick. Traditionally, chicken marengo is served over pasta or rice, however I usually cook up a batch of zucchini noodles for a Paleo and Whole-30 compliant meal. We also enjoy this hearty dish with olives on the side!

Notes:

Tip: I love using jarred marinara sauce to add more flavor to slow cooker meals. This one is a great option, or you can often find organic marinara sauce with no questionable ingredients at your local health food store. Read the ingredients carefully to find one that only has vegetables, spices, and olive oil.
