By Abigail Stultz, Dietetic Intern We’re all super busy, all of the time. The last thing I feel like doing at the end of a long day is having to whip something up for dinner. Even though it’s convenient, picking something up quickly isn’t always the healthiest or most cost effective option either... If you’ve never heard of a slow cooker, this piece of equipment is essentially your new personal chef. All you have to do is plop your ingredients into the cooker before you leave in the morning and turn the dial to the appropriate cooking temperature. While you’re going about your day the slow cooker goes to work, and when you get home you are instantly greeted by the heavenly smell of your freshly cooked meal. No work or extra spending involved! The possibilities of slow cooker cuisine are not just limited to dinners. You can make oatmeal, granola, dips, breakfast bakes, fruit cobblers and more! Plus, there are so many delicious recipes that are 5 ingredients or less.
Here’s a 2 ingredient shredded chicken recipe, perfect for #TacoTuesday or any time you want a homemade Chipotle inspired dinner. All you’ll need is:
Step 1: Place chicken breasts into the slow cooker and cover with salsa. Step 2: Put the lid on and set the cooker to high and let cook for 4 hours, or set it to low and cook for 6-8 hours (depending on how long you will be gone for the day). until chicken shreds easily with a fork. Step 3: Come home, shred the chicken with a fork and mix with salsa juices, and BAM! Chicken is ready for tacos!
