Slow-cooker chicken with tomatoes and artichokes tips and conclusion:

Use bone-in, skinless chicken thighs: These are more flavorful and juicy than chicken breast.

Use canned diced tomatoes: These are already softened and will break down easily in the slow cooker.

Use canned artichokes: These are already softened and have a slightly tangy, briny taste that complements the chicken and tomatoes.

Add some fresh herbs: A few sprigs of thyme, rosemary, or oregano can add a lot of mellow, aromatic flavors to the dish.

Use a low-sodium chicken broth: This will help keep the dish from becoming too salty.

Serve with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with rice, mashed, or roasted or steamed veggies.
