    My family's favorites are:
    Carne Guisada
    Chicken cacciatore with mushrooms
    Chicken taco chili
    Thai coconut chicken soup
    Chicken tikka masala
    Turkey picadillo
    White bean soup

    Also plain old roast, pulled pork/chicken, or salsa chicken (we like chicken thighs and salsa verde)

    I love skinny taste

    me I just throw in meat, toss a generous layer of spice on top, walk away from 3-5 hours depending on the meat. then add veggies on my plate. or use in a sandwich

    I like chicken fajitas.

    1 red bell pepper
    1 orange bell pepper
    1 green bell pepper
    1/2 onion
    3 chicken breasts
    1 fajita packet.

    Easy and I tried it! It is delicious.
    Cut veggies and mix all ingredients together. I don't use water because the slow cooker will provided the juices you need. Cook on high 4 hours or low for 8.

    Rotisserie style chicken in the crock pot! Ball up aluminum foil and place on the bottom. Place chicken pieces on top of the foil. Season to taste, I used Chinese 5 spice, Mexican spice mix, or just garlic and lemon juice. Cook on high 3 to 4 hours. Works well with skinless boneless breasts as well.

    Try the app "yummly". I am in love with it so far. There are a lot of unhealthy recipes for crock pots. You have to make some substitutions/ reductions to get around them.
