Weeklong Chicken Recipe with Just 10 Minutes Daily Prep - from - chicken meals

Weeklong Chicken Recipe with Just 10 Minutes Daily Prep - from - chicken meals
by Pam Cole


I like to crock pot meat on Monday and then serve it several different ways throughout the week. This basic chicken done with the crock pot transforms itself into a broccoli casserole, a basil pasta, a Caesar salad, a tortilla soup and a white bean chili in less than 10 minutes per day. For the chicken, just place 10 frozen chicken breasts in crock pot and cover with chicken broth (one large can or three small - add extra water if needed to cover) and heat on high 6-8 hours or low 8-10 hours*. Chicken will be so tender that it will be easy to cut with a butter knife or shred it with two forks. (*3-4 on low or 5-6 on high if fully thawed)
