Chicken Crockpot Recipes

I LOVE to cook, BUT there are days that I don't want to spend all my time in the kitchen and so if I can just throw my meat in the crockpot and pop it open when it's dinner time- then YES sign me up.

Here are some of my favorite ways that you can use chicken.

Ingredients - 

-Boneless skinless chicken- This is by far the FASTEST and less MESSIEST way to cook chicken, you shred it and you are DONE. I have cooked the ones with bones, but it does take more time.
-We are a family of 5 and surprisingly we used 2 big breasts for our meal the other day and that was plenty to go around!
-So if you cook more and have leftovers know that you can surely use it for other meals or please FREEZE it

Add-ins

This is where it can vary tremendously here- everything from
-italian dressing
- salsa
- water with some salsa
-Salt and pepper  to your taste
- Garlic- you can't go wrong with this- either powder or minced
- onion- again you can try using powder or throw in whole cubes

Directions 

-Toss your chicken in the pot and set on HIGH for 5-6 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours
- Add water to keep it moist

Once your chicken is done then you can shred it up and eat up to your content

Meal Ideas

- Shredded Enchiladas
- Pulled pork with barbecue w or with out buns
- Serve it over brown rice or quinoa
-Tacos
-Serve with Pasta
- Make Chicken Soup
