Chicken is an affordable and healthy protein source
I really love the versatility of a Crockpot. I’ve learned in the past couple years that you can literally prepare anything in one! Desserts, drinks, and of course your main dish!
I’ve found handfuls of pretty easy, healthy, whole food, chicken slow cooker recipes that are all flavorful, unique, and ethnic. There’s absolutely no reason a chicken meal need to be boring. Chicken has the wonderful versatility of absorbing almost any flavor with success and creating and entirely new dish to keep meals creative and full of flavor.
PLUS chicken is really affordable when compared to other meats. Steak prices have skyrocketed in the past few years! Your muscles need protein and these healthy creative meals are ALL a must try this fall!
1. Crockpot Chicken and Quinoa Chili
From: Chelsea’s Messy Apron
This recipe is so ‘right up my Allie.’ It is so simple and has just enough flavor but is not too spicy for the whole family to enjoy.

This is a guilt free and wonderful chili recipe you HAVE to try!

From: Well Plated
Ok you guessed it, I LOVE chili! This simple dump and go recipe has the perfect combination of flavors! Green chilies, white beans, and fresh cilantro.
