It's finally starting to feel like Fall in Houston and that's when my Crockpot really earns it's keep. I don't know what it is, but I just feel so accomplished after I get a meal started in that thing. It's one of those set it and forget it (for like 7 hours) devices and one of the easiest ways for me to use. I've been favoring chicken recipes recently and I wanted to share a few of them with y'all.
One of my grocery staples is the boneless, skinless chicken breasts from HEB, I typically get them with every Instacart order, and they've become the star in my Crockpot meals. I've used the following recipes as a base and tweaked them a bit to best fit my tastes and I'm sure y'all can do the same!
Easy Italian Chicken recipeI just cooked this recipe this past Sunday and the name fits it perfectly. I literally put frozen chicken breasts, a bottle of Italian dressing and because I love chicken stock I used a Knorr bullion cube and a little bit of water. I let it cook on low for 7 hours and paired it with some rice and collard greens. The perfect Sunday dinner.
Broccoli Chicken and CheeseI alternate between making this as a casserole and just serving it over rice. I started off usingthis recipe, but I've made it even easier by just using cream of chicken, broccoli, various seasonings along with the chicken breasts and I cook it on low for 6-7 hours. I top it with cheese if I'm serving it over rice or mix the cheese in if I'm making it as a casserole. Super easy and really delicious!
Chicken noodle soupI have a feeling that I'll be making this a few times this season. Great for lazy weekends and for when I feel under the weather. I learned my lesson the hard way with this one and I will make sure that I use the right amount of noodles so I don't end up with a drier soup. I altered this recipe a bit; I chose not to use celery seed, lemon juice and minced garlic, and I subbed the yellow onions for my favorite seasoning blend by Picsweet. Fun fact, this recipe was the one that helped me stock my spice shelf.
Chicken tacosI was craving chicken tacos something fierce a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to stumble across this recipe. Y'all! I had everything for this in my cabinet at home. I was going to use salsa on the tacos and I had seasoning because I usually use ground turkey for tacos at home. Once again I cooked it on low for 6 hours and shredded the chicken before letting it sit for another 45 minutes. So delicious!
