Crock-Pot Chicken

     This is a great multi-meal recipe. You can prep the chicken on a Sunday and put it on when you go to work Monday morning, by the time you come home the chicken will be done. Then you can take the chicken and make different meals all week with it, for example, tacos, pasta with chicken or chicken salad. I also wanted to add this recipe after making my list of kitchen gadgets that I love, because this shows how you can use the crock-pot to make almost a whole weeks’ worth of meals.

Ingredients

4 large potatoes

3 carrots (or 2 cups baby carrots)

3 stalks of celery

½ a green pepper

1 medium onion

1 whole chicken

3 cloves of garlic

1 lemon/lime

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon pepper

1 tablespoon cumin

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon paprika

Directions

Cut all the veggies into bite sized pieces and throw in the bottom of the crock-pot.

Mix all the seasonings together in a bowl and put it all over the chicken (inside and out). Then put the chicken on top of the veggies in the crock-pot

Squeeze lemon (or lime) on top of the chicken.

Cook on low all day, while you’re at work. If you are home you can cook it on high for 2 hours.

Live Healthy,
