Tips when making Keto Crockpot Recipes
One of the ways we most use our crock-pot at home is by doing meal prep for the week. If you're already putting together an easy dinner, why not double the recipe and store half in the freezer for another meal? Here's a list of our meal prep tips for putting together amazing keto crockpot meals.
Meal Prepping Low Carb Crock Pot Recipes
- Have more than one crockpot! We have 2 large crockpots and 1 small one that works perfectly for appetizers and warm snacks. My crazy sister has 4 crockpots for her weeknight meal prep!
- Do your keto meal prep on Sundays and assemble multiple crockpot meals.
- Double the recipes. This is where a large crockpot really comes in handy. Even if it's just you or one other person in your household, a large crockpot is a gem and prevents you from cooking every. single. night.
- Buy disposable crockpot liners to make cleanup easy.
- Is this not the MOST adorable crockpot accessory you've ever seen?!
- Go to keto crockpot recipes. Whether it be from websites like ours, Pinterest, or a handy dandy cookbook like this, having ideas to cook is critical! You can get this keto crockpot book for FREE with a Kindle download. We tried Kindle Unlimited for free for 30 days and downloaded tons of great resources. I'm still not sure if I'll keep it, but it's been awesome for getting free keto resources.

FAQs for Crockpot Keto Recipes
Yes, sour cream is keto-friendly. It is high in fat and low in carbs, making it ideal for a ketogenic diet but make sure you read the labels and look for sour cream that’s 0-1 carb per serving.
For crockpot keto recipes, you’ll want to add sour cream at the end of the cooking time.
Yes, spaghetti squash is considered keto-friendly. It does contain some carbs, the net carb count is still pretty low compared to regular pasta. One cup of spaghetti squash has about 7 grams of net carbs.
While most veggies are slow cooker-friendly, some of them can’t be cooked for longer cooking times or they’ll turn mushy.
These include quick cooking vegetables like zucchini, spinach, and asparagus, and sometimes bell peppers, which are best added towards the end of cooking.
Root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and beets are all slow cooker friendly but they aren’t compliant with a keto diet since they have so many carbs.
Yes, cream cheese is acceptable on a keto diet since it’s high fat and low in carbs. Be sure to read the package label to look for brands that have just 0-1 net carbs per serving and don’t add sugar or artificial ingredients.

Be sure to check out all 40 keto crockpot recipes in our post for over a month's worth of keto crockpot meals!
Ingredients
- CHICKEN
- 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- SAUCE
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 3 teaspoons Minced garlic (6 cloves)
- ¾ teaspoon Fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- ½ cup Sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- ½ cup Shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- Garnish - Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low. Add the garlic and saute it for 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly until it's heated through to prevent the cream from burning.
- Add the shredded parmesan cheese in batches until it's melted, stirring constantly.
- Place the chicken thighs in the crock pot. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
- Carefully pour the cream sauce over the top of the chicken, trying to get as much of the sauce on top of the chicken itself and not as much on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Cook the chicken thighs for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. When the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
- Turn the crock pot up to high (if it isn't already) and add the baby spinach leaves to the pot. Stir until the spinach leaves wilt.
- Add the chicken back to the slow cooker and spoon the cream sauce, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
