Crockpot:  toss in 4 or 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; pour a large jar of salsa (hot or mild) over the chicken; cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours; shred chicken and serve with hard or soft taco shells; lettuce; tomato....

Use leftover shredded chicken to make chicken taco soup..... with some chicken broth; add corn or beans or whatever you like; and serve with sour cream and chips or cornbread.

WOW, Now that sounds really good, I'm going to have to try this maybe tomorrow night, thanks for this

I make this quite a bit too. CHicken and salsa all day, then when I get home I add black beans and corn for the hour or so I go around feeding animals. Stir it up, it shreds the chicken, and we eat it with sour cream and shredded cheese and Tostitos Scoops.

I also like "red beans and rice" - make a kielbasa, cut it up, while that's cooking, I make a box of zatarain's beans and rice. Or just rice and add my own beans if I don't have this handy.

I also got tired of paying $10 for Chipotle's chicken bowl, so I make the Rice A Roni Mexican rice, heat up black beans, and cook some chicken and add shredded cheese, diced tomatoes and lettuce to make my own bowl.

Kielbasa and pierogies is also good - spend $20 on an electric skillet and put it all in there with a couple Tbsp of butter, stir and flip a couple times and its ready in about 20 minutes.

I did Keto earlier this year and found a couple recipes I liked.

I made taco meat, but ate it in a bowl without a shell. Just meat, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and lettuce.

Get a rotisserie chicken and debone it while its still hot. Put it in the bottom of a casserole dish. Add a little spaghetti sauce on top and top with lots of shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm. Like chicken parm without the breading. Yumm!! 

We also like buffalo chicken pasta. (I love bread, that's why I had to quit the keto, but I've learned to tone it done a bit). Cube up some chicken, cook in a pan with buffalo sauce ( I like creamy buffalo ranch). While chicken is cooking boil whatever noodle you like. Elbows, penne. Whatever. Once chicken is almost done, cube up a block of cream cheese, add more buffalo sauce. Once chicken is done and cream cheese is melted (you can add some milk to help) stir it all together to get the pasta good and coated with sauce too, and serve.

These ideas are great!  Thank you for sharing! 

We also roast veggies several times a week - takes about 30 mins.  We roast anything and everything .... green beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, acorn squash (a favorite) ... cut into bite-size pieces.  Place them on a large baking pan (I line it with parchment paper to make clean up super easy.)  Sprinkle on a spice mixture -- I usually use a veggie type one or sometimes a chipotle flavor or a cajun flavor -- some salt, pepper, and olive oil or avocado oil -- roast at 400 degrees for about 30 mins.  We save leftovers to add to salad or omelets -- and I'm guilty of snacking on the cold roasted veggies.  You can add these to soups, too, and I've even topped tacos with them.  (We love veggies.) 

Oh yeah and we do breakfast for dinner a lot. Sausage links and scrambled eggs. Or egg “mcmuffins” - fried egg, cheese and bacon on an English muffin. 

And poor pizza. English muffins, put some squeeze pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, or whatever toppings. And they make the perfect mini pepperonis. One muffin makes two pizzas, so cheap to make. 

I’ve made this and it is really good!

Super easy Chicken Enchilada Crockpot recipe:

3 or 4 chicken breast

1 28oz can of red enchilada sauce

Cook on low for 7 hrs or high for 4

Shred chicken and crush up a half a bag of tortilla chips and mix in with a cup of shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar) 

then top with another cup of cheese and cook 45 min and serve.

Spaghetti is always easy!

Pork chops and rice is easy. 4 pork chops seasoned the way you like (we use onion/garlic/salt/pepper) (optional - brown them in skillet for extra flavor), 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup long grain uncooked rice, 1 1/2 cups water - stir everything, but the chops, together in a casserole dish then put pork chops on top and bake at 350 for  1 1/4 hours.

Another quick one I do is Migas. 

Fry strips of corn tortillas. Add eggs. Finish as desired - I love to top it with beans (refried or whole), avocado, cheese, salsa, tomato and sour cream ?? oh and some cilantro if I have it. 

You could add ground beef or chicken too 

Super quick, one pan and done!

shrimp foil packets_ the recipe I have is for 4 but I only cook for 2 so I use less

1 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 lb cube red potatoes,(the smaller the better they cook),

2 smoked andouille sausage thinly sliced

2 cloved garlic minced

2 ears corn cut into 4 pcs

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp old bay seasoning

1 lemon ( i don't use this)

4 tbsp butter

kosher salt, pepper, (2 tbsp parsley  I don't use this)

cut foil sheets 12" long. divide shrimp, garlic, sausage,corn and potatoes evenly. drizzle with olive oil, add old bay and salt and pepper. gently toss. top with lemon parsley and butter. Fold foil packets over mixture to completely cover and roll edges top and bottom to seal closed.

grill 10-15 minutes.  If potatoes are too big they wont cook.  you can substitue chicken also if no shrimp.   I adjust quantity by what my husband likes or doesn't like. He gets more shrimp I get more sausage lol

Hello

One of my favorite quick and easy meals:

1 package of Wild Rice (Rice A Roni)

1 large can of chicken breast meat

1/4 cup slivered almonds

Just cook using the normal Rice A Roni directions on the box. Double or triple depending how many people you're cooking for. Ready to go in 20-30 minutes.

SLOW COOKER CRACK CHICKEN is the BOMB!  My daughter got me hooked on this one:

4 chicken breasts

16 oz cream cheese

1 dry packet hidden valley original ranch seasoning

Put all of the ingredients in a slow cooker.  Cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 4 - 6 hours until chicken is cooked thru.

Uncover and mix all of the ingredients.  Serve it on a roll, or a hambuger bun.

me i am single  and challenged  with hands  i get 6 lbs chhicken breat  put in crockpot   put fresh rosemary and sage in bottom  cook on low 7 hr

get out shredd or just put in baggie freeze  get out what i need when i need

Performance horses will have very different nutritional needs than a pleasure horse or pasture puff.

I'll add mine.

You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts to be a little healthier, but I like thighs for a tastier meal.

Melt some butter in a skillet, add italian seasoning and simmer for a bit. Add in chicken. Cook about 6 min or so and flip. I like to cook a little longer to get a little crust on it. Add in aspargus, salted and peppered to taste, and cook another 6 minutes or until desired tenderness. Make sure to mix them up a little to get the seasoning on it. I usually just eat it with some applesauce on the side. Super yummy and pretty fast.

I have everything for this - it sounds SO good. I'm going to have to make it this weekend. 

Not a recipe idea and sorry if this has been mentioned (I'm slow to make it to the party on this thread, I know!), but I double and triple almost all my crock pot recipes. I'll put leftovers into 2 large zip lock bags, stick in deep freeze. I do this for about 3 weeks and then I really don't have to cook much at all the next 4-6 weeks. It's so nice!

My easy dinner idea-

Order a pizza and have it delivered
