Dinner doesn’t need to be complicated to taste good. All you need is 3 ingredients!

Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Brown Sugar Italian Chicken is a great example of the power of simplicity in the kitchen, so let’s delve into it today. Although this dish doesn’t have a distinct culinary origin, it exemplifies how contemporary cooking techniques may provide complex flavors with few ingredients and little effort. Those who value speed without compromising flavor will find this meal to be ideal. The slow-cooked chicken keeps its moist, soft flesh while the Italian dressing provides an acidic, herbaceous foundation and brown sugar adds a lovely sweetness that caramelizes delightfully. If you’re short on time during the week or just want something easy to eat, this is a great option.

The luscious glaze that coats the juicy chicken is a perfect complement to any number of side dishes. Given its Italian origins, it would be perfect drizzled over fettuccine or spaghetti cooked to al dente and tossed with a light butter or olive oil sauce. A refreshing green salad or a combination of roasted Mediterranean veggies like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini may provide a healthy edge to the meal. A piece of crusty bread will come in handy for mopping up that delicious sauce.
