Slow Cooker Spanish Chicken | Slimming World Sunday
This Slow Cooker Spanish Chicken is quick and easy to prepare and is ideal for a busy midweek evening. Serve with rice, roasted potatoes or even some crusty bread.
It’s been a quite a while since I last posted a recipe on here. I did have a couple of recipes planned for over the festive period but obviously that never happened. I will just have to keep them aside until later in the year. No doubt it will just feel like a few months have passed before I am publishing those posts!! This Slow Cooker Spanish Chicken is an ideal midweek meal. Just throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker before you head out the door for the day and it’s all ready for you when you come home. Although I have used chicken breasts for this recipe you can always swap it for chicken thighs instead.
I’ve added some black olive halves to this dish (8 olives = 1 syn) so when portioned up will make the syn value negligible if you are following a Slimming World diet. However if you’re not following that diet knock yourself out and chuck in some chopped chorizo or even some red wine. Or you can still do that but remember to syn them!

I have this in the slow cooker at the minute it smells lovely. I substituted the butter beans for kidney beans in chilli sauce as I didn’t have butter beans!
Hi there,
How many olives do you usually add ?
Hi Patsy
I love olives so I added quite a bit to my dish but I would say if you are leaving the olives whole then around 2 tablespoons worth. I hope you enjoy this recipe 😊
This looks delicious! I might have to give this recipe a try! Thanks for sharing.
