Crockpot Chicken Tacos

The first few months of motherhood have been about easy meals for me and Farmer Doc. The crockpot has featured prominently in our meal planning (or lack thereof) since October. These Crockpot Chicken Tacos are the perfect recipe – it takes less than 5 minutes to prep, and then you can walk away and forget about it until you’re ready to eat! (Thanks to my good friend Dani for this easy meal idea!)

Are you looking for some easy comfort food to keep you warm and toasty during this arctic cold snap? Who isn’t? This crockpot chicken pot pie definitely fits the bill!

This recipe is slightly adapted from a recipe in one of my all-time favorite crockpot cookbooks – Gooseberry Patch’s “Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round”.

Crockpot Chicken Cordon Bleu

Seriously. Farmer Doc is starting to get tired of my crockpot cooking. But I love it! Especially on those days when I just don’t have the energy to stand in the kitchen to make dinner… that crockpot sure comes in handy!
