I’m a busy mom. Between caring for my daughter, walking my dog, and doing household chores, I have a lot on my plate.
Naturally, I want to minimize the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. And as summer weather approaches, I want to cook even less to keep our house from overheating.
Slow cooker dinners are my favorite fallback whenever I don’t want to cook. I simply dump everything into the Crock-Pot, turn it on, and let it sit all day. By the time dinner rolls around, everything comes out soft, perfect, and delicious.
Slow cooker chicken, potatoes, and carrots, in particular, are my favorite because they require minimal preparation for maximum flavor.
Better still, slow cooker chicken and potatoes is ridiculously cheap per serving. I buy frozen chicken breasts in bulk from Costco, and potatoes and carrots are easy to find for a low-price just about anywhere.
On a happy note, it’s fairly calorie friendly. I can easily feed my family and keep everyone full while still being healthy. And I can make it in advance, freeze it, and thaw it later to make things even easier for myself.
So it’s a win-win all around.
Whenever I’m in a meal-prep mode, this recipe comes back again and again because of how easy and cheap it is to make for my whole family. But I’m always open to suggestions. Do you add different seasonings? Do you swap out of the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup? Perhaps you add onions in with your carrots and potatoes?
