I love how easy it is to cook chicken in the crockpot. I have a couple chicken crockpot recipes on my blog (here, here, here). I am constantly trying to think of ways to cut down on kitchen time, and I always go back to my crockpot. You can make so many things in a crockpot. It is pretty crazy! The best part is you don’t need a super nice one. I got mine for $30 at Target a few years ago, and it still works like a charm.
I’m pretty sure I am still in the Texas state of mind. I walked outside in shorts yesterday only to realize it was in the 30s. Boo winter. Can’t you be over already? Thank goodness it is just three more weeks until spring. In the two days since I posted about wanting to go to Paleo f(x), I made up my mind to take the plunge and go! I got great feedback from others going who said how much fun it is. I sometimes get nervous going to big events by myself, but I am so excited to meet other paleo people! Austin has a ton of paleo-friendly restaurants I wasn’t able to try on my short trip, which I will for sure be hitting up in April.

This looks delicious! I make salsa chicken in the crockpot, and so this is going to be next! Thank you. New to this lifestyle and am loving it. Lost 17 lbs so far!
Congrats!! It is an amazing journey!
This chicken was awesome!! my husband and kids loved. Served it as burito bowls with brown rice, black beans, corn, salsa, sauted peppers and onions and shredded cheddar. Will make this part of our regular dinner menu.
I am so glad you liked it!!
This looks delicious! Just curious on how spicy it is? Would love to let me 2.5 year old eat some as well if it’s not too spicy! 🙂
It is more of a smokey flavor than spicy. I definitely think it will be okay for children!
have you calculated the nutrition? I’m mainly wondering calories per serving. thank you!
I actually have not. Sorry!
This was easy to make and delicious! Now trying to figure out what else to do with the extra chicken (i made a little more than 2 lbs for leftovers). I forgot about the chicken cooking so it ended up in the crockpot for almost twice the time but still perfect. Thanks!
