5. Bourbon Chicken
This Bourbon Chicken is out of this world! The chicken soaks up the flavors from the sugar-free apple juice, natural molasses, and high-quality bourbon, leaving you with a wonderfully juicy dish!
6. 5-Ingredient Chicken Chili Verde
You may not think of chili as a spring meal, but this recipe is sure to change your mind! It won’t leave you feeling heavy like winter chili, and it packs 37 grams of protein. As a bonus, it contains the perfect amount of heat for a warm spring day!
7. Chicken and Black Bean Chowder
This Chicken and Black Bean Chowder cuts down on calories by using a tomato base instead of a traditional cream base. By no means does that mean a decrease in flavor or texture, though! This chowder is rich with Latin spices, and the chicken is as tender as can be. You’re definitely going to want to try this one!
8. Apple Butter Pulled Pork
I’m going to be honest with you: Our Apple Butter Pulled Pork is a little more labor-intensive than some of the other slow cooker recipes on this list because you have to make the apple butter first. That said, we promise the outcome will be worth it. This pork is so moist and mouthwatering!
9. Everything Shredded Beef
I absolutely adore versatile recipes, which is why I love this Everything Shredded Beef recipe so much! This delectable protein can be served inside of tacos and burritos, on top of nachos and salads, or on its own. Do with it what you will!
10. Spicy Barbecued Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken wings are great, but they’re often loaded with saturated fats, trans fats, and excess sodium. Luckily, this recipe is made with clean ingredients that you can feel good about eating. They’re slightly on the spicy side, but they also contain a touch of sweetness to satisfy your cravings!
11. Greek Lemon Chicken
This Greek Lemon Chicken packs a bright, citrusy, lemon-forward flavor, making it perfect for spring! At 40 grams of protein per serving and only 5 carbs, this dish is one of the most nutritious on the list of spring slow cooker favorites! Serve it as a main entree, or shred it over a salad.
12. Chicken Enchiladas
Just picture it: savory layers of whole wheat tortillas, shredded chicken, spicy enchilada sauce, and melty cheese. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it? All you need to do to make this super-simple recipe is to layer the ingredients and turn on the Crock-Pot for three to four hours. Then, come back and dig in!
13. Takeout Beef and Broccoli
Traditional takeout can be loaded with all kinds of unhealthy, fat-laden ingredients, which is why our Takeout Beef and Broccoli recipe is so wonderful! We use lean beef cuts and no added sugar to clean up this recipe and cut down on calories. At 348 calories per serving, there’s no reason not to indulge!
14. Buffalo Turkey Meatballs
That’s a spicy meatball! No — seriously —it is! If heat is your thing, you’re going to love this incredible recipe. We use lean, ground turkey to slash fat, but we’re careful not to sacrifice one bit of flavor. These Buffalo Turkey Meatballs make an awesome main course or appetizer for your next spring get together!
15. Honey Mustard Chicken
