If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be? Seriously. What would you choose? Super speed. Time travel. Super human strength. Seeing the future. Which would you choose.
I think I would pick super speed so I can get more done in less time. I think that’s why I’m borderline obsessive with time management and productivity hacks.
As moms we want to get all. the. things. done so we can spend more time with our family, but all those things usually include some no so fun chores. You know, like cleaning, laundry, dishes, and cooking for some picky kids.
Using the slow cooker is my secret weapon to sticking to our meal plan each week and making sure we’re not wasting food. It really is the easiest tool in the kitchen to help with all the dinner pains most families face. You, like me, might not actually enjoy cooking dinner after a long day at work. You, like me, might think that it’s torture to come home and immediately have to start cooking when everyone else is relaxing and asking, “How long until dinner, Mom?”
So let’s make a deal – let’s start making dinner easy on ourselves by sharing super simple, super easy dump and go dinner recipes with one another.
Okay? Deal.
Especially, when the temperatures start to dip and it’s chilly in the evenings that’s when you can start having a deep appreciation for your slow cooker. Don’t get me wrong, summer is still the perfect time for using a slow cooker because it doesn’t heat your entire house up, but there is something special about using it in the fall.
Here’s what you need:
5-6 frozen chicken breasts
2 cans of cream of chicken soup with lower sodium
1 packet of ranch seasoning
1 Slow Cooker Liner (the best invention for your slow cooker!)
Directions:
Cook on low for 8 hours. Pull Chicken out and shred. Take about a cup of the juice and pour into a small bowl. Add about 1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch to the separated cup of liquid. Mix well and add back to slow cooker. Mix together. Cook on high for 20 minutes or until sauce thickens. Place about 1-2 cups of liquid on top of chicken.
Serve by itself, with rice or with pasta. I also like to add cooked carrots to it, yum!
