Crock-Pot Chicken

Today I’ll be keeping it short, as this isn’t technically a recipe, but instead a suggestion. ;) First off, you should know that I have this ‘relationship’ issue with chicken. :lol: I could eat chicken everyday no problem, and I never get tired of it. The problem is that in order for me to eat chicken everyday, I have to prepare it first. Here is where our relationship is rocky. I can’t touch raw chicken. As my husband as my witness, he knows to expect that I won’t touch the stuff uncooked. So when he is not around to help handle the raw chicken, I had to get creative in my ways of cooking. :D

Fiesta Ranch Seasoning

This is just one way to make it really easy to prepare your chicken without it tasting like a dried out sponge. One great thing about this recipe, is that you do not need to defrost the chicken. I buy the large bags of frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and tenderloins at Costco, and they are perfect for these kinds of recipes. There are basically 2 easy steps. Open bag of frozen chicken and dump it in the crock-pot. Next, pour half (or more) of the Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta packet over the chicken and cover and cook. You do not need to add water. How easy was that!!

Frozen chicken with Fiesta seasoning sprinkled over it.

I typically let mine cook low for 5-6 hours. Yesterday, I started mine around 2:00 in the afternoon and by the time 7:00 rolled around is was ready. I normally use the entire bag of chicken, so throughout the cooing time you may want to shift the chicken in the crock-pot around. I then usually cut or shred my chicken and weigh out my servings for the upcoming meals. Your family will love it too. It’s great in enchiladas, taco salads, etc. fiesta-chicken3
