If you need a new easy dinner recipe, give this one a try!

While this dish may be simple to make, the flavor is anything but basic. A mix of oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes gives it plenty of warmth, while black pepper and a pinch of salt round everything out.

It seriously tastes like the kind of meal you spent hours on in the kitchen when, in reality, your slow cooker did all the heavy lifting.

Serve the chicken whole with roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, or shred it up and serve it on buns for an easy sandwich option. It’s also great over a simple salad or even tossed with pasta for a quick and flavorful dinner. However you serve it, this dish is sure to be a winner.
