Fall makes me want to live off my crockpot.
Chicken goes in, protein comes out. Every single one here hits 35g or more.
So here’s my list of fall crockpot chicken dinners built around that number. I make almost all of these on repeat once the weather cools down.
My pick this time is the Crockpot Chicken Shawarma at number 13. Serve it with rice, pita, and tahini and it feels like a whole Middle Eastern spread.

1. Crockpot Greek Chicken

This dish leans into bright, briny Mediterranean flavors that feel far more involved than they actually are. Chicken simmers low and slow with kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, garlic, and oregano. Feta gets stirred in right before serving.
I made this once while hosting a friend visiting for the weekend, and she loved that dinner practically made itself. It delivers 56 grams of protein per serving, putting it near the top of this whole list. That kind of payoff with minimal effort is what this roundup is all about.
Serve it over rice or straight from the bowl with a squeeze of lemon. It stays gluten free and low carb throughout. I always keep extra feta nearby because it never feels like too much.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 503
- Fats: 20.6g
- Protein: 56.5g
- Carbs: 11.5g
- Fiber: 2.2g
- Sugar: 5.5g
2. Crockpot Peanut Chicken

Chicken breasts cook low and slow in a peanut sauce built from sesame oil, chili paste, and lime. Bell peppers and onion soften right alongside it. The sauce alone makes the whole dish feel indulgent.
I made this for my brother on a Friday when he wanted takeout, and he had no idea it was the lighter version. That kind of swap is exactly why this recipe fits so well here. It holds 44 grams of protein per serving, keeping it solidly in high protein territory.
I finish it with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Cauliflower rice underneath keeps things low carb. The whole dish needs maybe ten minutes of actual hands on work.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 509
- Fats: 24.5g
- Protein: 44.9g
- Carbs: 14g
- Fiber: 2.1g
- Sugar: 6.5g
3. Crockpot Turmeric Chicken Soup

Golden turmeric. Tender chicken. A broth that simmers low and slow until every flavor deepens. This soup comes together with barely any effort, which makes it an easy pick for this low calorie fall lineup.
I made this once while staying at my Airbnb for a friend who wasn’t feeling her best. She said the warmth and color alone made her feel cared for before she even took a bite. It became one of those recipes I now associate with cooking for people I love.
At just 318 calories and 29 grams of protein, it fits perfectly into this roundup’s numbers. Carrots, celery, and onion keep it simple, while turmeric adds both flavor and health perks. For anyone wanting a light, cozy dinner this fall, I think this soup delivers exactly that.
Per Serving:
- Calories: 318.02
