new bff recipe

sorry haylie and eric..

but i found a new best friend

Mr. Crockpot!

when Eric and I first got married I was too nervous to use this thing. 

it just looked so big and confusing.

but finally the other day I pulled it out, blew off the dust and plugged it in!

Some girls from my work gave me advice for a super simple chicken recipe in the slow cooker

It turned out AMAZING and was the easiest thing to make!

Eric loved it and I am willing to share the secret with you.

(ok not really a secret, but here you go):

INGREDIENTS :

RICE (white or brown)

VEGETABLES (preference)

4 BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST

MANGO SALSA (from costco)

TORTILLA (wheat or flour)

SHREDDED LETTUCE

So I put the 4 frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker
and dumped 1/2 (half) the jar of mango salsa in with it

turned it on high

and left it for 4 hours

the chicken will get really tender and REALLY easy to shred

I shredded mine with a fork in the crockpot and mixed it around

then I steamed some rice and vegetables

shredded my lettuce (I used iceburg and romain)

and warmed up my tortillas

I put it all together like a cafe rio salad.

the rice, chicken and lettuce went on top of the tortilla

we didnt use any dressing because the mango salsa was enough flavor

(you can add black beans, onions, fresh cut tomatoes.. whatever you think will be good)

MMmmmmm...

hope you try this recipe soon! super simple but super delicious!!

thanks to my work ladies for this idea!

I am now going to the store to buy a crockpot recipe cookbook!

i love this thing!
