Slow Cooker Cinnamon Chicken Recipe
This slow cooker cinnamon chicken is a surprisingly delicious meal!
I know, I know. The thought of cinnamon and chicken didn’t sound very appetizing to me either at first.
But man am I glad I tried it! In fact, I only got a small bowl of it because everyone around here scarfed it down so fast. You’ll have to trust me on this. It’s good!
And I should also mention that it is “Mini Chef Approved” which is saying something around here! It was simple to put together with easy-to-find ingredients and made enough for leftovers the next day. I enjoyed the last of it for lunch and can’t wait to make it again. Give it a try!

I’m a cinna-holic. I love cinnamon and put it on almost everything! I can’t wait to try this!!
Mira – Hope you enjoy it!
Kelly – Glad you both enjoyed it!
So…would regular fat free milk work okay with this? I cannot wait to make it…it sounds like a great freezer meal as well to make for lunches!! Thanks!
Jenn – regular milk would alter the flavor a lot.
Rayna – Fabulous!!!
Actanksley – That would be a wonderful switch! Glad you both enjoyed it!
Please do!
Sbroverman – Glad you enjoyed it!
Nosnhojjennifer – I wouldn’t recommend it. You might want to try a different recipe all together.
Gkrecklow. If you don’t mind putting some in the freezer, you could remake the recipe without the cinnamon and then combine the two. Otherwise, yes, adding extra tomato sauce will help.
Penny – Wonderful! I’m glad everyone enjoyed it!
Jenng – Congrats! That’s wonderful!

Christa – There are a lot of reasons for dry or tough meat in the slow cooker. I’m going to redirect you to the Skinny Ms. web site. They have an article specifically on this topic. You can find it here: http://skinnyms.com/avoiding-dry-or-tough-meats/
Micaela – Great! I hope you enjoy it!
