A cheap healthy meal for a busy weeknight dinner!
This past week has been crazy! We just got back from week long vacation in Mexico. Once we got home, it felt like a mad house! Dinner time often gets overlooked on weeks like this past one, and that is why I love my slow cooker. It makes dinner time a breeze in the hustle and bustle of life.
Crock Pot Chicken is the best chicken!
Today I spent 15 minutes making dinner, and that included the time it took me to wash my slow cooker insert from dinner the night before. Crock Pot cooking can be fancy, or it can be as simple as chicken breast in a simple sauce. My ideal slow cooker recipe is quick, healthy, and something my son and husband will eat.
This meal was absolutely fantastic! Sun dried tomatoes happen to be one of my favorite vegetables! I love the texture and the flavor. Paired with basil and a creamy sauce, let’s just say you have an award winning meal!
Definitely give this recipe a try! It will quickly become a new family favorite!
