Chicken is a meal prep staple. The problem is that eating dry chicken breast weeks on end is not an enjoyable experience. This Slow Cooker Sage Chicken will change your mind. It is juicy, fresh, and savory. It will definitely provide variety to your meal prep.

Sage is a herb commonly used to make breakfast sausage. It adds good aromatics and a compelling flavor. With the sage, I added some paprika. Paprika is a great spice, it provides a lot of smokiness and balances out the aromatics from the sage.

I always enjoy the convenience of crockpot or slow cooker recipes. It saves me a ton of time which then allows me to enjoy time with my wife, family or knocking out a workout! You can just put your chicken in the cooker and let it cook overnight or throughout the day and it will make itself. I recommend getting a simple and basic crockpot, this is the one I use.
