This slow cooker sweet chili chicken dinner recipe should remind you of something that’s very similar. In fact, it is a variation of the grape jelly chili meatballs that have been around for decades.

The slow cooker is one of my favorite appliances since it does most of the work for me. You basically just dump everything into the pot, turn it on, and go about your day.

Some people call this a slow cooker dump meal. I call it perfectly blended flavors that make a delicious meal.

Most of the time, I use my standard-size slow cooker. However, I also cook in one of my smaller slow cookers when I make 2-person dinners.

One of those is this delicious chicken stew for two. I came up with the recipe based on leftovers I had in the fridge.

Another favorite is this Crock Pot ranch chicken dinner. The seasonings in the packet of ranch dressing add depth to the flavor.

Slow Cooker or Instant Pot

Did you know that most things you cook in the slow cooker could also be cooked in an Instant Pot?

If you’re in a hurry, put all of the recipe’s ingredients into your Instant Pot. You’ll need to add an additional cup of water so the contents can become fully pressurized.

Set the timer for 15 minutes. It takes a few minutes to get up to full pressure. After it’s done, allow the pressure to release slowly for 8 minutes, and then dinner is ready.

Since I’m often in a hurry, I appreciate my Instant Pot. One of our favorite Instant Pot dishes is this taco soup that we eat with corn chips.

We also enjoy this Instant Pot lentil soup served with crusty bread.

Is Chicken Good for You?
