Check out my index of Whole 30 crockpot recipes with a wide variety of recipes to make your Whole 30 diet successful and easy. Using the crockpot is the easiest way to cook any meat. The crock pot {*} does all the work for you.
One of my most favorite ways to cook is with the crockpot because meat always comes out tender and juicy. I love crock pots. I actually own three of them. I use so many because I go to a lot of extended family parties. We have a big family and it takes a lot of food to feed us.
Sometimes I might use two crockpots at a time. I might use one for the meat and one for a side dish. Crockpots come in different sizes too, you know. I know I sound a little crazy, don’t I. I’m not crazy, I don’t think. Maybe if you asked my kids, they’d have a different story.
I have recipes for several different cuts of meat that can be cooked in the crockpot and then prepared in so many different ways.
Yes, a crockpot and a slow cooker {*} are the exact same thing. Many years ago I didn’t think they were, but now I know that slow cooker {*} is the generic word and crockpot is the brand name, but really most people don’t know that and use the words interchangeably.
Do you like to call it a crockpot or a slow cooker {*}? Does it depend on where you live? I don’t know but I’m wondering if that’s the case.
I hope you enjoy these Whole 30 crockpot recipes and I hope they make your life a little easier.
Whole30 Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes
All of these Whole 30 crockpot recipes here are sweetened naturally, usually with fruit. Some of the recipes are also pictured with non-Whole30 ingredients, like tortillas, rice, naan, etc. In those cases, the main dish is Whole30. Just don’t have the sides they suggest.
You need to know that some of the recipes here call for tomato sauce {*} or tomato paste {*}. Most of the brands of tomato sauce {*} you can buy in a regular grocery store are not clean. Which means they have processed ingredients or have ingredients added, usually sugar that is not acceptable on a Whole30 diet. If you buy the right brand of tomato sauce {*} and tomato paste {*} they are acceptable on a Whole30 diet, so make sure you buy the correct brands, read the labels.

This crockpot pumpkin coconut curry isn’t the most beautiful dish in the world. Let me tell you though it is one of the most delicious meals you will eat this fall.

Cauliflower – Onion – Red Bell Pepper – Poblano Pepper – Tomato Puree – Chicken Stock {*} – Chicken Thighs {*}
This chili recipe has a secret ingredient that isn’t much of a secret. You guessed it – it’s cauliflower! I used cauliflower to replace a lot of different ingredients for Whole30 cooking. Sometimes I use cauliflower to replace garbanzo beans or flour as a thickening agent. This time I’m replacing the beans with cauliflower.
7. Lemon Thyme Chicken – The Natural Nurturer
Chicken – Lemon Juice – Bay Leaves {*} – Garlic
This slow cooker {*} chicken is a favorite to make for those busy nights when you have very little time to spend cooking in the kitchen. I like to put this in the crock pot {*} before I leave to work in the morning and when I return after a long day it is ready to eat. A whole chicken is used instead of breasts or legs or thighs because a slow cooker {*} cooks slow and low. Because it is cooking for so long, it will dry out less than smaller pieces of chicken will.

Then you throw everything else in the slow cooker {*} and leave it and let the crockpot do all the work. When it’s done you have slightly spicy super creamy coconut curry chicken that will melt in your mouth.
9. Butter Chicken – Becoming Ness
Coconut Milk {*} – Tomato Paste {*} – Tapioca Flour – Chicken
These days I like to know what I’m eating and what I’m feeding my family. That’s why I quit eating out and started cooking a lot more. I love cooking chicken in the slow cooker {*} because it is always fall off the bone tender. That is unless I procrastinate or forget to start cooking it when I need to. This butter chicken is especially good cooked in a slow cooker {*}.
