Easy Crockpot Chicken/Broth {Recipe Tip}

Okay, if you're like me, making meals can be...well, like a chore lol

I'm working towards being more organized and to think about our weekly meals ahead of time. Enter in this simple chicken crockpot recipe tip! We use chicken A LOT and I cannot believe I didn't think of this sooner. Basically, using this method, I will always have yummy cooked chicken on hand for quick (and maybe some planned) meals. Do this on a Saturday or Sunday, and have chicken for the week!!

Here's what you'll need:
- 4-6 uncooked chicken breasts
- Cooking spray
- Salt/pepper/whatever spices you'd like
- Foil
- Crockpot

 Cut the chicken into cubes or strips. Cut a piece of foil, spray with cooking spray.

Season chicken to your liking.

 Fold over the foil, like above...

 ...then fold the end towards the center...

...creating a nice lil' foil pocket, like so :)

Turn the crockpot on low, spray the inside and place the chicken foil packet inside.

Pour about 1/3 cup of water in the bottom and cook for about 4-6 hours.

Wala! Cooked chicken for your weekdays, and you didn't have to slave over it...oh, and...

...you get chicken broth too!! Perfect for making soups, especially in the crockpot :)

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed this easy crockpot tip!

Chili Cheese Nachos {Recipe}

 Man, I haven't posted a new recipe in like forever! I don't know about you, but I love me some nachos...especially encased with cheese...I threw this together and created this recipe for three reasons:

1.) I was too lazy to cook REAL dinner
2.) I wanted something easy yet yummy

3.) I hadn't done groceries, so I used whatever I had

Feel me? You've been there...

Here's what you need:

-      1 bag Tortilla Chips

-      1 can salsa

-      1 can chili beans

-      5 slices or more of Velveeta (to your liking)

-      1/4 cup milk

-      ½-1 cup chopped lettuce

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, spread chips at the bottom. Top with drained beans, salsa and lettuce.

Melt cheese in a heat safe bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Mix in the milk with a spoon, return to the microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth, spread on top of lettuce.

     Bake for about 10 minutes and serve immediately. Top with sour cream & enjoy!

    Adjust ingredients to your liking.

-   For a little extra something, brown some ground beef with taco seasoning and

    add on top of the beans before the rest of the ingredients.
